    If you like Platt,
    but yet again you choose to respond only to the parenthetical aside, not to
    any of the points in the thread, which I repeated, and will repeat again.

    Aha, now I spot the problem. You say your purpose is
    "to bring to light and examine basic assumptions, and to figure out what's
    the best morality for a nation to follow UNTIL the MOQ is widely known and
    accepted."

    Then you are probably doomed to repeat the philosophical and theological
    arguments of the last 5000 years.
    Good luck, (no, seriously, good luck to you) but please don't expect me to
    treat any of your contributions as aimed at understanding and making
    valuable use of the MoQ.
    Unquote

    (Provisional, revisable, evolvable, though the MoQ clearly is.)

    I do not see that you have any serious purpose in inhabiting the board
    Platt. Like MSH says, you seem to take delight in reducing every line of
    argument through word-games to trivial diminishing circularity. Please prove
    me wrong.
