Steve,

Just wandering the Threads of SI and dropped in; you are correct. You need some absolute limits on human behavior. You cannot leave morality 100% in an individual's choice. We need to acknowledge the absollute moral limits laid down by God. Otherwise we have chaos.

We potentially may have had an example of that "personal value systems" choice this week when the Air Force pilot disappeared with the A-10 Warthog Craft. (Now I am hoping that he had a stroke and died in the craft). But if this pilot "choose" in his value system to ignore his officer's orders and actually did fly off with the aircraft, if this was OK by his personal value system, should we all then say that his personal choice was "OK"? Skipper- What happens if the next time it's a B-52 Bomber carrying nuclear weapons out of the SAC Base south of Omaha, and the crew decides in its personal value systems to ignore orders and divert the craft- is that OK?

Sincerely,

Doug F.
