Politically, I'm a moderate with strong positions on a few issues. I'm sympathetic to the Libertarian philosophy but realize that there are things that we should simply not allow. I believe in a very small, government-run, safety-net. The point is not whether or not to draw the line, but where to draw the line. I'm somewhat existentialist and stoic, but not perfectly so.
With respect to right-and-wrong, I generally believe in situational ethics and contend that practically everything is relative. There are shades of gray and very few, if any, absolutes. | Odd, you remind me of this guy that's posted here off and on for years.
