    No choices at all? How so? The free market consists of millions upon
    millions of choices, freely made without government intimidation and
    coercion.

    No. I'm all for SOM intellect as practiced by science. But I don't want
    SOM with its absence of values deciding what's good for society. That's
    why I've posed the question: "What is the proper source of morality for a
    nation?" I don't think social engineering is the answer, do you?
