Morality and ethics in the recent news
Some thoughts on morality in the news hit me today when I found out about the mountain climber who was left to die as many marched around him on their way to climb Mt. Everest. Sort of a Good Samaritan story. One is not able to completely get the entire story as we find out how unprepared the climber was and how an amputee seems to be the one who actually helped him with oxygen. Perhaps there will be blogs which will deal with this story. I hope so. Does mountain climbing obviate morality? Some media reports seems to think so.. Then there was the Senate disaster called a bill on illegal immigration. Of course, no one wants to use that term. Better to give millions upon millions law breakers amnesty and say it isn't while our nation continues to be invaded as if borders, law, health, public safety, Social Security, housing infrastructure doesn't or should not matter to the USA!!!! What moral issues could be brought up here on this discussion? How bout a vote to get 12 million more voters for some political party?? Talk about motivations! Then we had Harry Reid tell Americans that to make English our national language was racist. So, nearly 300 million people are called racist because English happens to be the language of choice for most of them in work, home, business, church, media. Makes one wonder just what most people think the meaning of morality and ethics are. Perhaps if liberal secularism win out in this nation, the Judeo-Christian foundation of our country will be silenced forever. I wonder how much joy that would give to the media, some politicans and some university elites?
