Can something with a "main" goal (how about we call it a "primary" one?) have secondary and tertiary goals? Should there be any way of gauging which response from a system is best for any given input? No? Oh.

Let's say we poll some Red states on how they'd want their kids treated if their children turned out gay. Or, since this is apparently an upsetting example, how about we poll some Taliban on how they'd react if their children turned out gay, married Jews, or converted into Judaism? How, and in what way, do you think these polls on emotional, visceral response should we use as basis and/or influence on legislating our own societies?
