Queen once said it best, nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me. Certainly I have expressed that attidtude in the pasen quite permissive positions on contemporary hot button political issues. I find it hard to argue against complete individual liberty and freedom, bar a few things mentioned in What Does Anger Mean Today—namely, abuse of our planet and hurting other's civil liberties unneccessarly.

My moral permissiveness runs deep, but it often contradicted in a few cases by my beliefs relating to things I have experienced first hand. I fully support acid, aborition, and amesety among other things—if people want to do something to themselves, then so be it—and we should as a society be kind of all groups.

It is indeed a liberal doctrine that I subscribe to. I reject definate condemnations of things like racism, totalirianism, and so forth—as if that is what a society chooses to direct itself into, then so be it. Personal choices should remain just that.

Do I know the difference between wrong and right? Not particularly, both are human abstractions, and the rightness or wrongness of an item should be subject to political debate. To argue that one position is too far out or extreme and should not be ever considered is to be blind. Considering extreme positions force us to think about them, as demostrated through my piece on sucide and society, benefits of slavery in the south, and even school shootings and academic freedom.

To think and come to a position by rational choice is vastly superior to ignoring one position and picking one based on a half baked moral proposition. For example: slavery is unequovically wrong as it deprived blacks of their rights. That places blinders on the individual, failing to consider the ideology or the protections that slave owners actually gave to their slaves.

A more free society should be willing to look at all issues and all solutions. While I personally reject some ideas as being wrong for violating my principles of civil liberties and environmentalism as noted above, I think those ideas ought to be considered and subisiquently dismissed as impratical or just wrong.
