The last paragraph of your original post clearly implies where you're coming from. It was not a very welcome post for me at a time like this, and, you're right, it was NOT what I wanted nor expected to hear on this board.
When I speak about "values", I mean personal values, ethics, or models of what "should" constitute right and wrong, good or bad. I'm sorry, but I can get be very nasty to people who would impose their personal values upon me, either through legislation or just a polite implication that "what's good for me should be good for you."
