It seems axiomatic that whatever a society accepts as moral and right is moral and right to them. They make it so by their acceptance. That does not mean that those actions will be considered right and moral by anybody else. <<Never ceases to amaze me that such a simple and objectively true statement (or belief) can create so much controversy. Shaking head in disbelief>> Gee, I mostly agree with both of you, but I don't understand this. Does this mean that society is only represented or composed of members that have acceptance of the "rights" that a few dozen people voted on and passed as a bill?? Is this why people who are the constituents of society are demonstrating on these threads that they are anything but accepting or unanimous in their opinions of morals and "rights"?? To say that members of society are defined as those, and only those people, who accept a unanimous opinion on a particular Government decree--well, it simply leaves me wondering which of the antagonists in these polemics are not members of society?? Perhaps it is me...
