[Vision2020] Black History Month

[Tom Hansen]

Matt -

You will notice that my posting consisted of nothing more than my opinion,
no profanity or name-calling.

If, however, my opinion should differ from yours (now, there's a surprise),
so be it, because I really don't care.

Tom,

So much for your bet with D. Seems to be that Donovan has cleaned up his act
for the most part. You on the other hand continue your bashes against all
that isn't liberal.

Keely -

I believe what g is suggesting is that this is a question of cultures.

In most cultures people obey the laws that apply to everybody within that
culture.  In the absence of a law, people in this culture will generally do
what is right (providing for the greater good). Most people in this culture
do not shy away from responsibility for their actions.  Most people in this
culture offer a helping hand instead of a clinched fist.

Then there is g's culture, the culture based on situational ethics, where
"right" is determined by "Who is involved and do I like them", "What is
involved and does it benefit me", "Why I should not be held accountable for
anything I do or say", "How, if actually confronted, it is somebody else's
fault", and if all else fails "Why is everybody always picking on me".

In the former culture people look out for themselves and each other.  Caring
and sharing is part of the daily routine. And the parties are GREAT!

In g's culture, the greater good is pronounced "ME FIRST and ALWAYS".

Seeya round town, Moscow.
