The issue topic this week at Lakeside is "ethics." I haven't attended. Some things seem so clear to me, but others think "politics" or "personal choice" instead of ethics.
- Abortion.
- Removing DDT from malaria prone areas killing more Africans than the European slave trade.
- Testing drugs on women in developing countries and claiming the researchers have "informed consent" to exploit their ignorance.
- Crippling families with welfare and making Uncle Sam a no-good, abusive step-daddy-O.
- Destroying the hearing of teen children with rock concerts and ear buds so performers can live in luxury.
- Eminent domain for profit and cronyism and the building trades.
- Non-profits that are hugely profitable by any thinker person's definition of profit.
- College programs and faculty taking tuition from students to study for non-existent jobs.
- Keeping adult children dependent because you need to be needed.
- Not taking care of an animal you've agreed to own.
- Making a living legally from the addictions and pain of others--gambling, alcohol, pornography, etc.
So no, I don't want to discuss theory or the lastest author. I would probably ask questions, or give an opinion.
