PoliticsMorality

Yes, I said I was taking a few days off from the weblog, and I am. However, I have these words banging at the top of mouth screaming "Let me out! Let me out!", pulling at my tongue, digging into the roots of my teeth. I know I will get no peace until I let the little bastards out.

William Bennett wrote an article, Moral Clarity isn't Simplistic.

I'm not going to argue about this article eloquently - I leave that to AKMA. And I'm not going to argue about it beautifully - I leave that to Steve.

What I am going to say is that those who use moral arguments as axes to chop the world into finer and finer bits, cutting away all who disagree with them, will soon find themselves surrounded only by like minds and like voices. And I wish them joy of it.

I was going to make a comment, but since this tied in somewhat with some thoughts that have been rattling around in my head, I took a long leap and jumped in head first. I wrote a book on it and related thoughts instead :-)
