I didn't interpret what Carcharoth said to mean that that's it's  
hopeless. I think what he meant was "We have several core values that  
we refuse to compromise on, yet we recognize that they need to be  
applied on a case by case basis depending on the individual situation.  
The fact that we have so many people, who grew up and live around the  
world, and who have brains and political/religious/sexual beliefs that  
may or may not have brains that are considered the 'norm', makes this  
even more important." Is this true, Carcharoth?
