Nice word, "ad hoc coalition". Doesn't interest me though, and has nothing to do with what I said. "ghettoized special interest groups" comes a bit nearer to my point: I reject your notion that I belonged to a "special interest group", but I am consistently arguing against a process of ghettoization or marginalisation. So far you have denied that groups are becoming excluded (or marginalised or ghettoised). There is a spark of hope if you now concede it. It would be even better if you deplored that exclusion and wanted to reverse it.

My point was not about universal law or not. My point is how we decide if we need a certain law at all, and what for. In short, what direction we want our society to take.
