I've removed Society as a Parent Topic of Public from this page on the grounds that it lacks neutrality. Suggestions that public anything is part of society takes a partisan position on not just one but several of the most profound and complex issues discussed in this area. I have no quarrel with discussing these issues fully and completely; in fact I hope to encourage it, but installing society as a parent topic is a highly partisan position in this case and could preclude some of that discussion and presentation of perspectives we ought to be encouraging.
