Thank you for clarifying this. So many forget that custom (In my view this is the sense of right and wrong) precedes law, and that is why public policies, codes, legal decisions are not law, but have the force of law (which stems from custom). Law stems from the customary belief in innate right and wrong that we all share between individuals. - P.S. Sorry if my belief took your statement out of context.
