It is not immoral to force someone to support the police and military. Read Lila in case you've forgotten their moral role in assuring freedom from the biological forces of terrorists and criminals. As for parks and libraries, I have no problem donating money for those purposes, but taxed?

You take some strange tangents, amigo. It is clearly shown that a > disproportionate number of minorities are executed when compared to the > proportion that are found guilty of crimes. I guess it doesn't matter, though. You missed the point. Insulated and tenured professors at Duke presumed the students guilty before a trial by jury. Again, refer to Lila if you've forgotten the immorality of that. As for strange tangents, everybody keeps telling me here that everything is related. You disagree? ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
