That advantaged group would be a vast majority of the people in the United
States. Disputing that is in fact an attempt to twist and manipulate.

As before, you are completely correct. What we are exploring
here has to do with protection for the rights of the
minority.


In this case keeping a list of Moral Rules in the courts does in fact intend
to protect the minorities rights.






The simple intuitive test would be to ask yourself how you
would feel were you to enter a court that displayed some
other set of "moral imperatives."

That would be just fine with me. As long as the imperatives were of Good
morals.

Do you mean "good" in the opinion of the judge in my
example, or in your own opinion?

Good as defined by your creator.




Might you feel in any way
disadvantaged, or diminished?

Only if I was an idiot.


To whatever degree you might,
one could suggest that your privileges had been diminished.

If I in fact felt that my privilidges had been diminished, it would be
because of my own doing. If I had a problem with that, I could certainly
go
to another country and see how those courts would fit my wants.

This last one leaves me a bit confused.

If you were charged with a crime, and felt that your
privileges had been diminished would you be leaving for that
other country before or after your trial?

Until I see a large decay in the morals in court system I would stay.



No one that has not broken any laws is forced to stay in the United States
and be governed by its age old ways that worked pretty darn well unill
some
people started twisting and manipulation the laws.


Are you really suggesting that all the people charged with
crimes are guilty? If that were true, we could save a
fortune g.

No.


Also, when you say that things "worked pretty darn well" I
would have to ask "For whom?"

The citizens as a whole.



Anyone with even a superficial knowledge of our nation's
history knows that while those "old ways" worked "pretty
darn well" for some of our people, it worked very poorly for
many others.

Totally agree, but then its not all about me, "Me" being any person in
general. The "old ways" is a system that worked much more often than not.
Life is not perfect. Life is not fair. What we learn from these facts
helps us.


As before, I thank you for your response,

Your are welcome, however I feel that either you agree with my comments or
you are troubled with your own thoughts on the matter. My answers are my
feelings and I am in total comfort with them. I hope that you find comfort
in yours.
