"all those within the community have rights" Yes, members of a community do have rights. But, along with rights come responsibilities. Otherwise you're not a full member of the community, just someone who is too immature to earn their freedom.
The future will be different, but probably better

They'd thought the enemy would be oppressive governments and political regimes
Just like we can never accuratly predict where technology is going or what its effects will be, we will never be able to predict where society will go. It's true that communisim or dictatorships aren't as big a worry as in earlier years, but we do have to worry about corporate power.
Still, as year 2000 is almost upon me (20:30 ET) I can't help but think that as a species we haven't done a bad job. We are definatly not perfect, and we keep making the same mistakes over and over again, but we've come a long way. I am currently reading Daniel J. Boorstin's The Discoverers - a great read that has shown me how much humans have created and that we take most of it for granted.

I am sorry to say that I gave up on netscape with 4.6. I had used netscape since 2.0 but I just couldn't live with a crash every 1/2 hour or less.
I've gone over to the dark side (IE 5), and although it cost me my soul, at least it hasn't failed - ever. If only windows was 1/2 as stable.
I hope that Mozilla is good so I can get my soul back. But I will not touch a netscape product until then.
