Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Commentary: The ideal of freedom and the real war in Iraq: 4 of 63
The ideals of freedom are just that; ideals. Ideals are a great and wonderful thing but they are altogether different from reality. Ideals are like theories great on thought and paper, difficult to implement in real life. The ideals of freedom are not even attainable even in the US of A. They are the lofty ideas that we strif...

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Are you obligated to be moral?: 3 of 39
I do not feel obligated to be moral. I am moral in that I have a sense of right and wrong. This is one of the discussions that has so many facets, and shades, that I could have chosen either side and still remain unconvinced. I have a moral sense of right and wrong. I also know that this sense can slip and slide a bit to one ... More..

When I was a strapping young man when a widow asked me to bring her groceries home for her. She had a weeks worth of groceries, poorly packed by the clerk.
