This issue is all about a priori assumptions I agree... and I realize that if we start out with differing assumptions, we usually can't find common ground.

But you see, I suspect neither of us things the other is an immoral Philistines. And that is the vital difference. We can talk to each other in the public square, and perhaps cut deals we both think change the law in a way we find more acceptable. Isn't that what a vital public square is about? To honestly discuss our differences, understand where the other is coming from, and try to work it all out?
