How contemporary of you. It's easy to "reject" the other side when it is the popular thing to do.

So one should never make a moral judgement on a subject? Talk about a contemporary position.

Not what I said at all. One should not make a moral judgement based only on popularity and tradition.

(Argumentum ad populum, argumentum ad antiquitatem.)

We only have your assertion that your position was arrived at with due consideration and careful thought. The odds favor the more likely explanation.

So tell me, why was it acceptable for Virginia to Break from England, but not acceptable for Virginia to Break from Washington D.C.?
