>>"At no point did I denigrate anyone for using situational ethics"

The following quote is hardly an indorsement of it!!

"I was addressing the subject of "situational ethics", a phrase that conservatives use to denigrate liberals, and using the example of a U.S. citizen being denied due process by the Bush Administration"

So...do you believe that Liberals and Conservatives BOTH use situational ethics!!! Or is it just Conservatives (and you)??<<

Solon -

Taken out of context, that quote doesn't really say whether I do or do not endorse it.

Since I've made direct statements about my attitude regarding situational ethics, there's really no need to keep trying to figure it out.

I think the reason you can't understand what I'm saying is that you insist on believing that "situational ethics" are a Bad Thing That Liberals Use and Conservatives Don't. In other words, you've bought into the Rush Limbaugh usage of the phrase. That is a usage I find hypocritical, for the reasons I've already given.
