Hi ShiloCat,

Can you expand on those notions of "justification" and "harm" just a tad.

I sense that there may be some divergence in POV's on those concepts. If so, it may be that further "explorations" will produce some ground for compromise.

Just to break the ice, I'll start by suggesting that in my mind the concept of "justification" is fairly amorphous and rather hard to pin down.

"Harm" on the other hand, is easier to define, but it would seem to be formulated based upon those things that I would most fear, rather than the things that my neighbor might fear. I could also point out that my "fears" of harm are often times more damaging than would be the result of those fears if they were made real.

In any case, fleshing out these concepts might aid the conversation without you or anyone else becoming the target of tit for tat exchanges. ...Then again, maybe not. <g>
