That's not the way I work. And you can see that from my statement. I don't invoke any moral principles to make my case. It's all pretty down to earth. edit: Ac

edit: Actually, to elaborate...
A better way to put it: I go from the ground up, not the top down.
Most ideologies go top-down, which is utterly futile and is why people believe there is a dichotomy between the moral and the practical, i.e., principles and pragmatism.
Going top-down produces ideologies that are floating abstractions. Castles in the air. They end up being more constricting then they are empowering. Nearly every ideology you have ever heard of is like this. That is why you reject ideology.
If you do it from the ground up, you get an entirely different result.
