Is your choice to sell me a cure that cost pennies for 200k ethical or not?

Don’t know, that’s your call. Life is a series of choices and consequences. You make yours and live with it, one way or the other.

If you believe that you will have to account for your choices to your Lord, then perhaps you will decide one way. If you do not believe in such an accounting, then perhaps you will decide another way.

But either way, your choice has nothing to do with the system of buying, selling or private ownership of the product you have or created.

Be careful, you are greying an otherwise clear issue by qualifiying it with a characteristic that does not apply to it, just as Newt has done, and just as those who are attempting to destroy and recreate our country are doing.

And from what I can tell, they will succeed.

Again, seriously? This type of doctrinaire baloney is what gives unlimited ammo to the hard left.

Say it! It's wrong to do that! In babygene's scenario, if he refused to sell the cure at a fair price and someone died as a result, that life is on his head. Do you honestly think God would see it some other way?

Nope It’s not gray at all. What Newt is rightfully pointing out is that under any system, behavior can be ethical or not. Capitalism is not the issue, ethics are. And Mitt doesn’t have any even though he may be a capitalist.

“Don’t know, that’s your call.” And it’s not my call, and in the case of Mitt it’s not his call either, it’s the voters call.
