a lot of what passes
for morality, is really just a need to control other people.

Virtually all -- perhaps all -- public morality is exactly that.

Some people just have a huge need to try to run other peoples' lives.

Interesting, to me at least, that some of the posters here who are most vehement about the evils of big government imposing its standards on private lives are themselves among the most vociferous in trying to impose their own standards on others here.

Like most of life, it just depends on whose ox is being gored.
