Relative Morality: Surrender Management

Relative Morality: Surrender Management

"If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." - Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

The future of our successful society is intrinsically predicated on the outcome of our culture wars. We must resolve our differences concerning what is good and what is evil, the making of American general moral values, and the evolution of a multi-cultural America. We are witnessing the growth of moral tolerance and how it continually pushes the limits, as well as the emergence of active secularism and moral relativism.

Many are the frightening questions we inevitably face:

1. Will we continue to deny the poor credible police protection in their neighborhoods, adequate representation in our courts, and humane treatment in our prisons?

2. Will the battle over homosexual marriage and the rights of bisexuals morph

into a debate over polygamy?

3. Will the argument over late-term abortion grow into a debate over how human

is a baby in a woman's womb before being born or shortly thereafter?

4. Will this generation of Americans continue to borrow and spend until our children inherit only a bankrupt state?

5. Will recreational drugs be prohibited or accepted as a normal way of life?

Intelligent people disagree on the causes and solutions to our dilemmas, or if there are any. Yet, Dostoyevsky's words continue to resonate with me: "If there is no God, everything is permitted."
