<<<I think the founders were looking for reason over politics. Morality is too often in the eye of the beholder.>>> And reason most times is knowing the difference between right and wrong.

This two year old came screaming out of the playroom crying that her three year old cousin had just slapped her, scratched her, thrown her down, and jumped on her. There were evidentiary marks and bruises. The three year old denied everything but got severely punished. Later the mommy of the three year old asked the three year old to explain what had been going on. The three year old says: Well I was spinning around with my arms out in the room. I stopped but the room was tilting (dizziness) and trying to make me fall. I was worried about my cousin so I went to help her and hold her so she wouldn't get hurt. I couldn't get a hold of her and the room threw us down on the floor. And then you spanked me mommy. Here is another one: I was walking with my daughter when she was three years old. It had just rained really hard. She saw a puddle in the corner of a parking lot. I saw it too. It was a wash of all the oil and grime from the parking lot, a filthy black bog. She took a step away from me and toward the bog in her new white tennies. I said no, then I screamed stop. In went the toe of her little tennis shoe anyway. When she pulled it out all greasy, stained, and ruined I could have cried. Well, I told her we were going straight home to take a nap, no park, no playground, nothing. All the way home she stayed three steps in front of me. She was stomping and mad, muttering over her shoulder. I didn't get it. Why mad, why not crying and pleading for forgiveness so we could go to the park. But, there she was; stomp, stomp, stomp; mutter, mutter, mutter. When we got three steps in front of our door she spun around on her heals, stuck her little tummy out and pointed her finger in my face; while she said "It wasn't yucky Daddy, it had rainbows." Now she cried, went in and without speaking to me took her nap. What's my point? The point is, I don't think we have different morals on right or wrong, just a different perspective.
