Luckily, I haven't credentials of any sexual orientation to lose! <BR/><BR/>You may as well forget associating me with "conservatism". It's not that I'm fleeing from the label like some 'tweeny moderate, but that I don't have a systematic enough knowledge of ethics to concern myself with politics at this point. Rest assured, I opine that McCain better knows how to keep us safe (happy) and prevent poverty (provide happiness?). On the other hand, he seems to separate morality from politics (basing it on separating church and state), and I hope this doesn't mean he thinks ethics and politics are separate affairs. The imperative to avoid "legislating morality" is based on the fallibility of certain sources of morality- I say that nothing but morality (ethics) can be legislated. <BR/><BR/>Wouldn't you say, after all, that politics can be nothing other than "the science of living a good life" on a societal scale and by governmental means? What other purpose can government have than the happiness of the state?tullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197709180292694356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-24913831877600826522008-04-03T22:16:00.000-04:002008-04-03T22:16:00.000-04:00It seems to me that Senator Clinton's campaign is ...It seems to me that Senator Clinton's campaign is beginning to acquire that rather unattractive desparation that one can recognize in a pick up bar close to closing time. Unfortunately, it appears that the good senator never learned the lesson that sometimes it is perhaps better to leave at the appropriate time, retain some sense of dignity and self-worth, and try again or find something better suited to one's temperament and talents.<BR/><BR/>Sigh...<BR/><BR/>BJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-54068059051577121192008-04-02T23:50:00.000-04:002008-04-02T23:50:00.000-04:00Oh...LC, it's not a good omen for your conservativ...Oh...LC, it's not a good omen for your conservative credentials that you are picking up on my Tennessee Williams references.<BR/><BR/>Luke: I think Hitchens is a very talented writer, but he's so unhinged when it comes to matters of faith that I really don't think it's worth the time to engage him, even indirectly, on the subject.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524483460829802534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-32347078876511687842008-04-02T23:20:00.000-04:002008-04-02T23:20:00.000-04:00Mendacity!Big Daddy would call it "Bull!"Mendacity!<BR/><BR/>Big Daddy would call it "Bull!"tullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197709180292694356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-11571250428232885092008-04-02T14:58:00.000-04:002008-04-02T14:58:00.000-04:00Actually, I'm more interested in your response to ...Actually, I'm more interested in your response to THIS Hitchens article:<BR/><BR/>http://www.slate.com/id/2187277/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387588.post-65624648169465712232008-04-01T20:10:00.000-04:002008-04-01T20:10:00.000-04:00Check out the article by Christopher Hitchens at S...Check out the article by Christopher Hitchens at Slate...<BR/><BR/>http://www.slate.com/id/2187780/N.
