I'm troubled by the suggestion that we can make a conscious decision about what kind of society we want.
First, pragmatically: the work of Friedrich Hayek shows that it's quite impossible for any top-down control mechanism to manage this stuff properly.
Second, philosophically: given the foundation that America is supposed to build on, I don't see how any group of people has the right to actively force a structure of society onto the others.

Surely we build societies at least as much by our collective individual behavior as by centralized control? "Be the change you want to see in the world."
