Moral relativity is aimlessness and destruction.

Tolerance really means: I want you to tolerate what I want to do whether it is right, wrong or injurious to others or not, but I will not tolerate you disagreeing with me -- that is worse than hate or murder or sexual depravity or anything else.

I don't want to get along with forces that are destructive to society. Society has a right to incarcerate and punish offenders. It is not right just because someone says it is so. There are moral absolutes.

to believe the opposite -- moral relativism -- is to dis-"integrate" onself. Clinton is the case in point and a mirror of a corrupt society -- 'Economy is fine, he's doing a great job as pres, I don't care if he lies or cheats in private because he doesn't do that for the goverment' --- what baloney.

Who we are is apparent in every circumstance of our lives. There are actions that are absolutely wrong and those which are absolutely right. Wake up and live!
