Cecilia: Something which I should have added: You say >Any kind of discriminatory moral system I hold as being immoral (e.g. >(im)Moral Majority). You've really got to refine this ALOT to make it viable; stated as above it is self-contradictory. By holding the Moral Majority as immoral, you are discriminating against them. You need to generate a viable distinction between moral and immoral discrimination, or (what amounts to the same thing) redefine 'discrimination'. If we leave the definition of 'discrimination' as it is found in the dictionary, then it is the essence of thought and action. Clearly, you do not mean to hold *choice* as immoral! And discrimination which is bad in some cases, can be appropriate in others. It would have been disgraceful if Phoebe Cates had played Kunte Kinte in *Roots*. I don't care about the race that my wife belongs to, but it would be an immoral betrayal of my values if I married anyone other than an Atheist. And a Jewish pair shouldn't go to a Priest for officiation of their wedding (unless no Rabbi can be found, &c). Bye, DKMcK A Man of Discriminating Tastes
