The classification of good guys vs. bad guys is not mine. It's my rendering of the view of the faith-based, traditional values folks that inhabit this board.

Perhaps I should adopt the E approach and pigheadedly refuse to accept your "rendering" (an apt word indeed).

As you know Karen, I am not religious in the least. I have tried to find and have faith in a higher power but I have not been successful. I inherited a sense of values I observed and was taught by people I greatly respect and admire. It is my appreciation for the way I have seen those values operate and sustain those lives that I admire and wish to emulate that powers my owns sense of values and the one that defines the PMPs I described to you. There is no "cosmic" component. My own convictions can not be said to be derived in "faith" by which I take it you mean some religion. Are duty, honor, love of, and service to, country "traditional" values?? If so count me in. I am guilty of the practice of all these black arts...

Needless to say, I found your post most disappointing, indeed.

You and I decide for ourselves what our values should be. This is exactly what I have done, albeit, I have made my determination in the certainty that there are many things more important in this world than myself. And that is my "rendering" of the difference between OPs and PMPs...
