I'm a moral relativist. I don't think that's dangerous. I just think
that means any specific government needs to decide what is the agreed
upon morality and stick to it for the sake of the society. That's
effectively the same as having objective truths, but isn't the copout
of saying that somehow they are truths magically imposed by
god/universe.
