My philosophy in dealing with all other people is that I should never
initiate force or fraud against anyone (the standard libertarian line)
and everyone should be treated with courtesy. (Read "Miss Manners" for
specifics on this subject.) Also, when in Rome...unless it is immoral or
unhealthy. Obviously, if the Romans practice wife beating you do not
join in. :-)
