        @SharylAttkisson Short answer - the law becomes the definition of morality and ethics rather than ethics and morality defining law.

        @SharylAttkisson wonder how CBS will cover this? Msnbc covered it like a state run media outlet would. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/10/13/we-are-marching-to-the-white-house-to-return-the-barricades-million-vet-march-descends-on-washington/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=story&utm_campaign=ShareButtons …

        @SharylAttkisson using law or tenants in place of personal responsibility for moral choices. it separates us from our choices.

        @SharylAttkisson "Legalism" is strict adherence to the law, especially the stressing of the letter of the law rather than its spirit.

        @SharylAttkisson following rules becomes more important than a saving relationship w/Jesus, leading to pride rather than humility.
