Did you hear about the book that is out describing the Quakers as the most efficient group for social change in the United States? I wish I could remember the title, I heard the author talk on radio and now I can't find the thing. There were a list of core principles (as defined by someone not of a Quaker background) that made the cultural changes they brought about happen, what sticks in my mind are: not caring about how credit is given for the accomplishment, not caring about having to be alive should the change take long, and a bunch of other great ideals to follow. Pretty much all of them were polar opposites of the principles today that we see in national politics in the United States, lol.
