Many people who are antiwar are antiwar not merely because war is violent and inhumane, but because war is the ultimate statement of moral certainty — it is the ultimate in "judgmentalness."

Excellent!

Speaking of moral relativism, I got into an argument about the impending Iraq war with one of the "enlightened acolytes" of this broken line of thought in a bar one night. He stated that "there is no right and wrong, it's all gray area." I responded, "If you don't know the difference between right and wrong, then why do you care, or even have an opinion about anything?"

Boy, that got him mad. He huffed and puffed and preached to me about how much more he knew than me for about five minutes. After the first long pause I looked him straight in the eye and smiled. He left right after that, but here is the suprizing part: everyone at the bar that overheard us talking bought me drinks for the rest of the night. Now I am a firm believer in the silent majority.

Excellent analyis of how "enlightenment kills".

And guess which city was voted most enlightened (ie, liberal) city in America by the ultra left Utne Reader....

Yep.

You guessed it.

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

(Hmmm..."enlightenment kills"....might make a good bumpersticker....)
