<<"The only genuine authority is our internal nature when it is free to seek truth and justice."

Actually this is fundamental to Taoism >>

""When the Tao is lost, there is goodness.
When goodness is lost, there is morality.
When morality is lost, there is ritual.
Ritual is the husk of true faith,
the beginning of chaos.""

IMHO this is the same as Christs teaching that the greatest commandment is his... not the "rules" of Moses 10. But I"m sure Greg or e could conjure up reams of links and spew showing otherwise.

>>Your own mind always seems to follow the left wing political drum without a missing a beat. Coincidence or habit? <,

Facts.

Name one major issue in the last century in the US, where the conservatives were on the right side and the liberals on the wrong side.

One issue. No one has ever met that challenge.

So of course, if the left is consistantly correct and the right is consistantly wrong, well of course I like the left better.

And today what do we see on the right: Palin, bush, cheney Beck, rocve, rush, coulter, Ingraham, hannity all despicable people and mindless too boot.

On the left you find science, compassion nd logic.

You mistake knowledge for dogma. I spent my whole life reading the great minds to develop my philosophy. And I have great respect for Taoism, Confucianism and Budhhism, but those are idividual philosophies and brillant for their time equallying the ancient Greeks.

But democracy is the best political system I know of.

And the liberals have always lead the way into civilization although you do not seem to see that.
