That's a pretty narrow view, Mr. Barham. <br /><br />The teaching that 'community interests are more important than individual interests' is the teaching of Jesus.

They were each unequal and pursued the things they loved, aspirations, interests and talents, for the benefit of their families and their immediate community (see claysamerica.com).
