Robert don't be so hard on RaraAvis, as all it will accomplish is for Booby to counter with a post to UnderCookedBird telling him again that his post are Superior to all others. OverCookedBird needs to take lessons from Ron Reese on how to cut and paste information from books so that the end result will be coherent. Eventhought not necessarity correct. A good reply is as follows: "Your thoughts don't make enought cents to buy a single piece of penny candy." On another thread is a poster living in Paris, France that throttles us living in the USA that are unable to obtain real bread from most all food stores. Even my stay in Montreal, Canada I was able to enter any plain simple food market and buy a load of French bread of superior quality, along with any coffee place serving great coffee. Back in the USA it dishwater coffee from DunkinDonuts, and WonderBread in food stores. Great new name for on target person, WonderBird, as in most people Wonder when ever he leaves the technical and numbers information and tries for personal insight. Not enought to buy a single penny candy. Ron Reese on the other hand, not so much for the end result, but for the effort, he gets a whole solid chocolate turkey. doug

"You are quite wrong about moral issues. To you, there is no difference between a criminal and his victim. The two are NOT morally equivalent. If you think so, you are evil." If the victim was motivated by greed what is the difference? If the government uses policies for job creation and practices triage..is that a criminal? If they are out for the benefit of the majority of their citizens?

<You are quite wrong about moral issues. To you, there is no difference between a criminal and his victim. The two are NOT morally equivalent. If you think so, you are evil.> Thank you. You are a quite a dogmatic soul. Try defining your terms, such as criminal, victim, morality. Your only good for cheap moral diatribes. I do define my terms. Previously, I defined Morality as a mode of being which is good for all human beings. Is a rising POG good for all human beings? Or, is it good only for those humans who own Mining shares or the Physical itself ( I'll keep the option players out of this for the moment). Actually, we need to define what is meant by the "beneficial" or the "good" here too. Why not try? Is killing moral? The law says no. But there are examples throughout history where it has been done on a massive scale in defense of Freedom (ie; American Revolution). Does that make Freedom Immoral? Or, does that make Freedom a higher state than Morality? Perhaps you would argue that killing is moral in certain instances. I could go on and on here but I have to go to work. If I have time today, I'll respond on my Palm. I take the universal element of applicability inherent in the concept of morality very seriously. I think you need to rethink your moral diatribes and question your own premises. It is very easy to morally condemn another person. The world is filled with such people. It is a lot harder and takes greatness of spirit to judge oneself.
