So you believe in unmitigated moral equivalence?
For instance, should the person who kills someone via willful
recklessness (for example) be treated (socially & legally) the same as
someone who perpetrates premeditated murder? (I'm speaking in the
abstract now.)
Brady
Irrelevant.
Well, I said I was speaking in the abstract.
Each case would have to be decided on the specific facts.
Exactly. So you *don't* believe in unmitigated moral equivalence.
Fact: Snow choose to be the mouthpiece for this most despicable and
incompetent regime. I didn't advocate the death penalty for him, but I'm
glad there is one less of his ilk breathing my air. If evil men could
find no one to justify their crimes to their constituents, they'd have to
face the people themselves. And evil likes to hide in the dark behind
willing accomplishes who will stand before the world and lie for them.
Maybe it would be just a little harder for them to perpetrate their
crimes, or get away with them, without their apologists.
You initially claimed the administration was 'evil' and, by extension, so
was Tony Snow. Now you're saying they are merely 'despicable and
incompetent.' But also evil. And criminal. And you're glad he's dead.
I see.
I guess we'll just have to leave it with me (still) thinking it's rude of
you to say you're glad the man died.
Brady
Fine. But just out of curiosity, is there *anyone* living or dead whose
death you would see (or would have seen) as a good thing?
