Hi Arlo,
Just a note to say thanks for the strong post. Well-argued, well-
supported, beautifully written.
My only suggestion is to avoid agreeing with that Heyman character,
whenever possible! Outside of his field, he's not at all remarkable.
Thanks for the hard work.
Best,
Mark (msh)

I'd like to add some comments to this discussion, so this is not
intended to be a full response. I do have to say, I initially did not
get respond because I took the question to be disingenous. That is,
the question "until the MOQ is better understood, what is the best
source of morality for a nation?" was just an attempt at a rhetorical
"trap" that would allow Platt to propose (as his question intimates),
following christian morality is the next best thing to a MOQ-based
morality, until the MOQ is understood. (Perhaps I am wrong)
<SNIP>
To this end, I favor MSH's proposal of (and arguments for) an
Intellectually guided humanistic response to governing. As I've said,
it is morally superior for Intellect to govern society. With
vigilance against stifling DQ excessively, NOT ONLY in the
marketplace but in the totality of activity within the nation. Some
restrictions will always be necessary, of course, and are GOOD. What
is odd, is that the basis for representative government and the
separation of church and state, as well as the safeguarding of human
rights, are the foundation for Intellectually guided secular
humanism.
