I still stand by my original statement (or at least the non-parenthetical
part):
> PCT is non-judgemental as far as morality or ethics is concerned (and I
>know that you know that).

This is interesting in that I agree fully with what you said except that
I don't take it to be a refutation of my claim but rather an assertion of
its' correctness.

Implicit in what you have presented is that there is some goal; "stable
society" or whatever.  Again, given that and the not otherwise oft
mentioned point concerning individual perception of what is necessary for
the goal (that you did bring up) then PCT should help to analyze what
will happen as the individuals in the society interact.

So I guess that I could say that "Yes" when one is trying to determine
something specific about a society (real or imagined) then when using PCT
the "systems concepts", "goals", "morals" and "ethics" are important.
However, if the analyzed system will turn into WW-III in four hours or
not IS NOT a concern to PCT itself -- only to the particular analysist
(and to the participants if a real society).

Again, I want to emphasize that while I disagree with the assertion that
such is significant to PCT itself, I did like your presentation.
