Nope, it is like saying we shall never take slave. Never. We
respect human liberty. We really really are against slaves. That will
never change.

Never mind that other nations consider some peole not to be
fully human. Some nations consider other races to be
subhuman. Nope. Never shall we perpetrate genocide; or slavery. Never
change. We have drawn the line.

No gas chambers. No indentured servants. One person, one
vote. We don't care that other nations torture
dissidents. Free press. Free software. No gulags. Debian will
not, it is against our prinsables so it l never happen. We
must stand by our prinsables, must, must...

Yup. And principled.

As am I. But please feel free to flame, if you wish.

Other peole have slave. They make more money. But we pay our
workers. But we will stay free only out of principle.

I see. So, you are for slavery, ethnic cleansing, etc, since
you have no firm "lines"? Principles, morals, ethics, have no value,
no meaning?
