TAXES - & Utopias

Depending on how you load your argument, ANYTHING can be made
logical, Anything can be made Reasonable. Strip morality from the
equation and it really does become ANYTHING GOES. I learned that
while researching the Holocaust in order to write my novel Sealion's
Byte.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS who cares unless you're a PETA fan or a 'religeous
extremist'.

Rape, Genocide, slavery, anarchy, the sexual moletation of children,
right and wrong depends on which nuts are in charge.
