I take morality and ethics pretty seriously. I have a very simple moral code in which I try to use as my basis for what I think correct behavior is. It works as follows:
DO
First off take care of yourself and act in your own best interests. Following that you should provide help and assistance to those closest to you, namely your family and friends.
DO NOT
Using force to fulfill your goals and harming another person is wrong.
I think morality is pretty intuitive but a while back some religious meatheads decided to try to tell everyone else how to live by coming up with an arbitrary list of 'deadly sins.' Since America's political environment is so volatile right now and because morality often dictates a person's ideas on public policy I thought I would blog for a few days about my favorite deadly sins and tie them into some contemporary social issues. As usual I'll probably yammer on too long but I'll try to make it entertaining.
I dunno... I've been in a few situations in which force was pretty much the only option.
