That makes it your property far more than any mere parcel of land or personal belonging. But the basic point of this thought process is that you belong to you and no one else. God didn't give you to me, or Rob or the two of us as a groups, or any number of people as society. Conster belongs to Conster. period. This is a basic element of ethics. A lot of the rest follows from this premise and > in the case of someone being comatose, there is no proof that comatose > people are not aware of their surroundings. That's a whole different but good point However. Rob's premise is that if no one knows you did it, then no harm is done. I prefer my own sense of ethics to be internally driven. Whatever I do, *I know* I did it. And if I do something wrong, then my conscience says so and makes me miserable, That's all about my view of me. If someone doesn't have this internal sense of what's right and wrong, that's their look out... until they cross me... -- Jay P Hailey ~Meow!~ MSNIM - jayphailey ; AIM -jayphailey03; ICQ - 37959005 HTTP://jayphailey.8m.com No human being has the right -- under any circumstances -- to initiate force against another human being, nor to advocate, threaten or delegate its initiation _______________________________________________ Libnw mailing list Libnw@immosys.com List info and subscriber options: http://immosys.com/mailman/listinfo/libnw Archives: http://immosys.com/mailman//pipermail/libnw
