The whole point of my articles is that I DON'T want morality by democracy, I want morality by individual choice. You start with one principle - you can't do something to somebody else without their permission, and you work FROM there. (Naturally the definition of "somebody" and "permission" are important here, but we talk enough about those in this group already.) If you want to change that rule, you should need almost unanimous consent. In fact it is simpler than that. By definition you don't WANT people interfering in your life without your permission - otherwise you would not give your permission. So this fundamental principle is just the first case of the second rule - we have almost unanimous consent on that rule. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
