If any of those words have well-defined semantics in a widely accepted
school of thought, then I didn't know that.  (Except for laws, though
I'm confused on how they're relevant at all.)  I was simply going on the
assumption that we all agree on ethics based on human well-being (or
more generally, that of any relatively intelligent creature; many other
animals seem to have emotions too).  It would follow that we need to be
careful not to give power to those disagreeing with that.  If the
assumption was wrong, then never mind.
