Terry,
As I said before, I can appreciate your narrower perspective of "good". I always admire and respect your positions, so I hesitate to take issue with you here because you are "always" so right-on. So bear with me if I don't see this one as clearly. Enough of polite disclaimers. You appear to answer "yes" below to my two assessment questions (contrasting inanimate objects with human behavior) far below. If that's true, then even under this/your stricter usage of "good" I think I can retain my original position: that capitalism can be so labeled. After all, capitalism is more a human behavior than an inanimate object (and is usually life-supporting without a non-consensual victim). -Mark _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Terry L Parker Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 11:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Libertarian] Re: Discussing Capitalism: the Good the Bad & the Ugly Mark, since 'person' is the term we use to reference entities capable of having rights and obligations, wouldn't that imply decision makers to whom responsibilty accrues? Suitabiltiy of a gun's calibre for a particular task can be assessed ('judged'). But, it still takes a 'person' to be responsible for deciding how the gun is to be used. While tools (the gun) are A-moral, each person IS a free moral agent. -Terry Liberty Parker http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian --- In [email protected], "mark robert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Terry, > > > > Are you saying that no inanimate objects should be judged > according to their life-supporting or life degenerating > properties, that only human behavior should be so judged? > > > > -Mark > > > > _____ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
