Those who showed at the vigil represented an amazingly rich spectrum of outlook. They were all united on this, Jews and Christians, agnostics, atheists, wiccans, all could clearly see the wrong and the limited few who were opposed were clear in their seperate agenda, diametrically opposed to the rest.
Like white and black.
Some take a spiritual view of life, some do not. C. S. Lewis used his own terminology for it in his seminal book, "The Abolition of Man." He called the rules of higher value the "Tao." They come in a bundle, like the Ten Commandments. You must accept the whole package or you are not within the Tao. Lewis traced those moral rules through many civilizations in all parts of the world. Civilized life without them is impossible.
The reason one cannot exclude some rules is that enemies of the Good will stress one or two rules out of context and out of all proportion to do evil. Liberals do that 90% of every working day. George Felos blew up a semi-mythical "right to privacy" to the point where it superseded Terri Schiavo's basic right to life.
One celebrates all who open their soul to the Tao, be they Christian, agnostic or wiccan.
By the way, the new rules for terrorists: no starving of prisoners. Terri would have been better off if she'd been in aq.
