But how do you know what's right, Steven? Can you prove what you think is right to be so by logic and evidence? I wouldn't try. What I think is right is simply what I think is right. That's why I'm not likely to try to impose it on anyone else. Exactly who did Reagan have killed or jailed or exiled because they disagreed with him? Nobody I can think of, in the US. It's no fun imposing your views on those who, for the most part, already share them. If we look back on our eager support for dictators around the world in those days, the issue becomes a good deal muddier. I maintain that the combination of power with the conviction that ones own values are, in some abstract sense, "right" - not only for you, but for everyone - is an exceedingly dangerous thing. That danger may not always be realized, but it is always there, and I would prefer to keep the self-righteous out of power.
