      Somewhere down that road of introspection should be a realization that most of us go through our lives without having to make any particularly difficult moral choices, especially not choices that pit us against a genuine cultural threat which would gladly steam roll us with great righteousness and no remorse. I know Trump haters like to imagine themselves in that position, but they are not, not even close.

      Education is extremely important.

        By comparison of consequences you’re correct. But the principle still applies to evils great and small.

          I feel exactly the same way about the righteous and remorseless Maple MAGAts who are currently infecting this province with their divisive performance politics and promoting the breakup of this country.

            There's also Peter Singer's famous paper from 1972 which makes the perfectly defensible point that "evil" lurks in today's mainstream moral frameworks, just better hidden, and at more of a distance.

                    Why not Maple Magats?

                    The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.
