Pretty much everyone knows it when they see it.
Now THAT is a proposition that is and has been subject to much abuse.

And what you know when you see is unlikely to be what I know when I see and a third person is likely to see something different.

So much for absolutes.

Example: It is good to be charitable, is a moral absolute.
"Greed is good." Remember that? "Wall Street"?

Capitalism is based on that proposition, in a more complex form.

So is capitalism an absolute evil?
