Bingo.
Yes it is the quality of life that we all seek but it's the method and
definitions that we disagree upon.
Also, does the end justify the means? ( The moral issue.)
One of the most obscene statements I keep hearing is "Well, it's in our
best interest " to do so.
Where does best interest stop, and others' rights end?
Yes it's in my best interest to get an A in a class, but does that mean I
can cheat?
This guy is a dictator, but he is friendly to us, so it's in our best
interest to support him?
They have oil, which we need ( cheap), so it's in our best interest to
take over.
When does universal stewardship end, and self interest begin.
With power comes fairness and stewardship. If you can't apply those two,
then you do not deserve that power.
Yes at the end of the day we all want the same thing. A shelter, some
food and water, a little social interaction, and some peace of mind.
Somehow, some of these things are so elusive to so many people.
Poor Marie Antoinette.
