Libfas, please explain your ethics

1.  Why is it wrong to kill a violent criminal but okay to kill an innocent fetus?  I'm not particularly opposed to abortions, but it makes no sense that you rail against capital punishment while endorsing abortion.

2.  Why do you despise Christianity but tell everyone else that their religions are beautiful and are to be respected?  I don't understand how you can extol the greatness of science and education while while telling everyone (other than Christians) that their baseless beliefs should be protected.  I'm generally opposed to religion, so I say if you're going to hate one of them, hate all of them.

3.  Why is it wrong from conservatives to go on fear mongering about terrorism but it's okay for you to tell everyone the world is going to end because of global warming?  Whether or not you believe in either of these supposed threats it's clear that both sides are using fear to manipulate people.  Why not take the higher road if you're so educated and ethical?

4.  Why do you like Mac so much?

5.  Why do you believe the federal government can fix all of society's ills when it can barely deliver the mail?  It has been proven throughout history that large central governments lead to corruption and abuse.  Why do you continue to support big government?

51: You're missing the point.  You're saying the market won't do what you want done, which is probably correct if you think the only way to minimize its negative impact is to stop it outright.

But that's incredibly narrow-minded, not to mention megalomaniacal, thinking.

It isn't necessarily true that the most effective and efficient method of dealing with climate change is to proactively stop it.  It could be that the method which best minimizes impact on human life--that is, the method which maximizes utility globally--is instead reactive.  The ONLY means of discovering this method is through the workings of the free market.

Climate change isn't something that needs to be stopped for its own sake.  It only needs to be dealt with to the extent that it negatively affects the actual interests of real people IF IN FACT IT DOES--and the market is the only mechanism capable of dealing with this, because it is the only means available of accumulating and processing all the information necessary to make such a decision.

And if the market winds up not dealing with climate change at all, it's because people have decided that it's not actually a problem--which is perfectly fine, and perfectly possible.

Your problem is that you are a megalomaniac.
