My Overarching Principle = Electing Barack Obama
That is the one principle that will allow other principles that I have to become reality.
John McCain becoming president goes against my ethics and therefore against all of my principles.

Main Entry: prin·ci·ple
Pronunciation: \ˈprin(t)-s(ə-)pəl, -sə-bəl\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French principe, principle, from Old French, from Latin principium beginning, from princip-, princeps initiator — more at prince
Date: 14th century
1 a: a comprehensive and fundamental law, doctrine, or assumption b (1): a rule or code of conduct
(2): habitual devotion to right principles <a man of principle> c: the laws or facts of nature underlying the working of an artificial device

2: a primary source : origin

3 a: an underlying faculty or endowment <such principles of human nature as greed and curiosity> b: an ingredient (as a chemical) that exhibits or imparts a characteristic quality

4 capitalized Christian Science : a divine principle : god

— in principle : with respect to fundamentals <prepared to accept the proposition in principle>
usage Although nearly every handbook and many dictionaries warn against confusing principle and principal, many people still do. Principle is only a noun; principal is both adjective and noun. If you are unsure which noun you want, read the definitions in this dictionary.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/principle


A principle is an abstract object which signifies a point (or points) of probability on a subject (e.g., the principle of creativity), which allows for the formation of rule or norm or law by (human) interpretation of the phenomena (events) that can be created. The rules, norms and laws depend on and co-create a particular context to formulate. A principle is the underlying part (or spirit) of the basis for an evolutionary normative or formative development, which is the object of subjective experience and/or interpretation. For example, the ethics of someone may be seen as a set of principles that the individual obeys in the form of rules, as guidance or law. These principles thus form the basis for such ethics.

I will reprioritize.

It will be a beautiful thing.
