Additional information

I am grateful to Denise Grannall, Frank Vlach, and Karen Vlach, whose ardent scepticism of the possibility of discovering a satisfactory and convincing non-consequential commitment to civil liberties provided the stimulus for raising a number of considerations present in this essay. K. R. Massingham, George Couvalis, and Ray Walters provided particularly constructive comments at various stages of the essay's development.
