Ted, That's the problem with moralism........those who are moralistic get very self righteous and pompous like the Bennetts and Limbaughs of the world. That's why its hard to have sympathy for them when they fall. Those who develop huge egos fall harder and create a louder >thud< than those who don't. This is only fair and just, but then the anti-moralists use this to argue against any higher moral standard in the first place. To them, hypocrisy is only a weakness to be exploited. If you don't hold any moral standards in the first place, you can't be accused of hypocrisy, and you would be free to do anything you want. I never said that we shouldn't strive for a high moral standard. I just don't want Tenchusatsu or D. Ray or R. Limbaugh deciding for me what that moral standard should be. When conservatives do establish standards for the rest of us, they are crossing boundaries that I don't want crossed. I am unclear why conservatives have a hard time understanding that concept. Not a very strong ideal to build a society around, though. I don't think we are building a strong society at the present time. ted
