I'm not trying to be a contrarian here (or at least not trying to only be a contrarian), but I'm not sure that the legal positivists are discounting the moral content of law, so much as they are disagreeing

I love the imagery. I believe I would have photo something very similar to the waterfall you posted just from the way your words played off in my mind. Good stuff!
