[QUOTE]Originally posted by Stingray: [QB] [b]The Needs of the Many Outweigh the Needs of the Few Or the One. [/b] Perfectly logical, makes complete sense in and of itself. Thus, it becomes an axiom. [b] A person is allowed to have free control over their own lives and actions so long as such actions do not interfere with the right of other people to do the same.[/b] Where this comes from, whether its inherent or whatever, is rather academic (and pointless unless people recognize it in others). Basically, I go with karma. Don't cut me off and I won't cut you off. But instead of relying on a cosmic force to keep you from driving like an asshole, there is a simple mutual agreement between the two of us and anybody else who subcribes to this ethical code. If everybody followed it, we'd all be in much better shape. Though most people don't, I hold out hope that eventually this will become the dominant philosophy of [i]homo sapiens[/i]. There are complexities and other such things to this, that I do not feel like elaborating on. But basically these are like Asimov's Three Laws Of Robotics. Underpinning all of these and serving as the unifying force of all of these is the idea that the scientific method is (so-far) the only valid method of obtaining and ascertaining real data and finding truth. I'll stop here, because I have to pack the car with all my stuff for college. But there's more to be said, much more. [/QB][/QUOTE]
