Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm wondering how I sit with this. I have some notion of "social virtue" that's different from "personal morality" - and the latter has the higher rung on my set of choices. But the social virtue is not unconsidered or unweighted.

Personal morality outside of my nears and dears is of little interest to me short of illegal behavior that harms others. Marry six women or a goat as long as they're all consenting adults. Social virtue of others is of far more concern to me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What is the age of consent for a goat?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Well, as long as it's not a kid....

If I only had a brain...

African or Asian goat?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sorry, try as I might, I can't say that sending my child to public school is a moral obligation. I think that access to education is a moral issue, but that's another matter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't even remotely see how it can be, especially if you're afforded the ability to better the publich school system without having any immediate skin (so to speak) in the game.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The word "moral" lost all meaning to me a long time ago. What does it mean to you all?

I don't think anyone said it was. I feel it's a moral consideration, however.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

AHHHH! a car horn is going off nonstop outside my window - annoying enough - sure, BUT it is 1/4 of a beat off with the music I am playing (Good Thing - FYC). I might have to go commit caricide.
