Well, Yes judicial rulings, not amendments per say, rather how the judiciary interprets them.

Obviously the additional words in other versions are cultural additions. Kind of like constitutional amendments or judicial rulings. This puts the slavery discussion into an interesting light. Nowhere does it explicitly mention servents; however, it does mention a person's house. Slaves (and indentured servents) are considered property, or part of a person's house. So on the one hand, it doesn't explicitly say a damn thing about slavery. But a cultural reading of it would include slaves/servants at that time. Of course, the same commandment holds true today and since culturally today we do not have slaves, it does not today have anything to do with slavery. To take this discussion on a tangent, this is excellent OO behavior. I've run into people who wonder why Computer Science is called that (science). This is a wonderful example. Anyone who's studied philosophy, knows that both religion and science are philosphies. Science is a philosophy of modeling the universe through observations of the universe itself. OO concepts can be seen in philosophy back through history, easily as far back as Plato and Pureform Theory. Wheee! This is my brain on cruise control. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Dinowitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 2:25 PM Subject: Re: 10 commandments > The full commandment says: > "You shall not covet your fellow's house.
