AS A COLLECTION OF INDIVIDUALS WE'RE CALLED COMMUNITY (Letter to Dom Post, July 3)

‘No harm being an individual’, says Rosemary McLeod (July 3). Of course not - but as a collection of individuals we’re called community, and our community is broadly based on a set of rules (the Ten Commandments) which teaches the individual to put others’ interests before their own. And the further these ‘rules’ recede from our national consciousness, the more violent and high-maintenance our community becomes.
