In a discussion this complex, please quote the message that you are responding to, please. I spent a couple minutes trying to figure out how your response had to do with AOII Angel 's posting about Highway money and Louisiana. It was only after I went through the entire thread looking for the work normative that I found it.

Although "normative values" can refer to the ideal in philosophy, its connotation, particularly sociologically, is that of referring to the current reality.
