And I admire that these folks, (and the rest of us who support it, by extension) can take such a precisely defined stand on something usually described with such vague, floaty terms. As for their cause, of course I agree, but I just had to say I'm really impressed they were able to put this principle into such exact words, with real modern relevance and real prescriptions for action. It's "be good" made into a political movement.
