Wouldn't it be "an ethical man," not "a ethical man?"

Geez, you're wrong about that too.

Geez, you're wrong about that too.

Well, he is a self-proclaimed Republican.

Geez, you're wrong about that too.

To be fair, I just changed the error.

Nitpick grammar professor, I can guess the college freshman must love your class.

However, I am honest; I am an ethical man, not truly a moral man, which is one thing that American law takes into account more than ethics.

Won't you agree Mark or can you not differentiate ethics and morals?

Also to Tiger, I was a former Branch Vice chair of the Republican Party, so I wouldn't discount my membership that easily.

I shall definitely have to check out these threads. I expected to have a lot to say about them, and I haven't had the time to say it, so I haven't read them yet.

In general terms though, I absolutely agree with you about your assessment of laws better left as a relative entity and instead having ethics as the corner stone of an intelligent person's values.

Regarding everything else, well I'll have to read the threads.

I know you didn't ask for sympathy so I won't give you any. I'll just say I think you're a nifty person and I hope good things happen to you

I know a bit more about, "not wanting sympathy, just stating a fact," than I like to admit, so I can respect and even understand your position. I will comment that you're ability to think past it, even when time has faded the immediacy, is impressive. I wish I could say the same, but no, rapists still make me want to punch things.

As far as what you said, I really cannot agree with this sentence: "As I stated in my vigilante thread, I don't find it wrong for some one to take up arms and seek private vengeance if the case becomes necessary to do so, because certain aspects of our legal systems are not able to deal with modern issues."

I blame many of my attitudes, as Kevin has on occasion called me on, on being Catholic, but this really hits close to the nerve. Many of my friends have had a difficult time understanding why I still believe in the church and in God, why I try to follow their precepts instead deciding what is right for myself, and the real response is that I'm afraid if I did that, I'd be wrong. Note it isn't Hell or eternal damnation that scares me, it's the possibility that if I did not have the light in my life, I would not know evil when I saw it. Following from that basic distrust in my own ability to judge right from wrong, of defining right from wrong, I can't allow myself to be in a situation where my sole judgment would cost someone else their life.

Like Kevin, I'll need to check out the threads you mentioned. I've a sneaky suspicion that someone threw out the quote, "Eye for an Eye," so I have to go screw with them. It's the principle of the thing, you understand?

As for the people who wandered into your blog to criticize your grammar, of all things, Illegitimi non carborundum. I bet they thought Miss California should have been stripped of her title and first runner up status, too.
