Sure -- it is a way of keeping the strongest -- individuals or groups -- from dominating everyone else. Apart from some transcendental view of the human person and the order of the universe (i.e., "spirituality" or "religion") what do you think the Golden Rule is grounded in? Pragmatic convention.
kind of like what happened when california voters voted to overturn constitutional protections? hmmm???
