"do no harm" says even less. I rather liked that one. It makes a good touchstone. I remember the touchstone at the Pentagon when I worked there. It asked what the action does for the troops in the field. Touchstones are useful and "first do no harm" ain't a bad one. It doesn't lead to any particular policy. It's more a curb on proposed policies. "Embrace wisdom from a variety of sources not just Judeo-Christian tradition." I rather liked that one, too. It's appreciative of tradition but also appreciative of other religious traditions and secular sources. That doesn't seem to be the standard position of the Democratic party. None of what she said reminded me much of the Democratic Party. <g> I don't think she was describing what is but what she thinks should be. its also pretty vague even on the areas that it does cover Yes, the devil's in the details. But coming up with a framework is an iterative process. You sketch out an outline, see what detail follows from it, revise the outline if the detail goes the wrong way, and so on. Or you start from the detail, find broad themes, and start the iterative process there. A first cut is just to get the pen primed.
