[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 307245, member: 9859"] Morality......Who determines morality? As Kmac points out it ultimately is all of us, whether you conform to morality or cross the line of morality, whether you use it to apply to Gov't, Religion, Politics, whether you live in a small rural community or a large urban population, morality fluxuates to the conditions it is dealt with as well as the acceptance or ridicule of the people afflicted. Morality also is influence by one era to another era, starting at the begining of recorded history it has evolved from generation to generation and has been used as a tool as mentioned in the first paragraph. Remember there was a time not so long ago where rock-n-roll and dancing was ilegal, and Elvis wasn't allowed to shake his hips, and womens clothing and bathing suits truly do looked like grandma's attire on young women. And now I am fascinated by the question of how our morality will change in the future. Viewing this question from an assumption that we are on top of the moral pyramid, it is easy to pass judgement on past societies, but how will future generations look down at us in their lofty positions? An interesting article from one of your libertarian brothers Wkmac: [URL]http://volokh.com/posts/1174960427.shtml[/URL] For one group to claim that their the standards for high moral fiber is absolute, is what I refer to as Egoism reflecting self interest, and deflecting any accountabilty of an accusation of a declining moral society. Individuals sometimes feel that making an appropriate lifestyle choice invokes a true morality, and that accepted codes of conduct within their chosen community are fundamentally moral, even when such codes deviate from more general social principles.
