I can always ask why because your responses go in circles. Its like I ask, how do you know tom is big? Tom is big because he wears shirts. Why do you think wearing shirts makes him big? I ask the why question because you stated something else that does not support why Tom is big. So I have to ask the question - why is Tom wearing a shirt make him big?

If I ask you if something is legal. The answer is it is illegal because there is a law against it. That answers the question. If you say it is illegal because it is bad, that does not answer the question. Bad may have been the reason that the law was passed, but the law itself makes it illegal.

I have asserted over and over that the terms moral, immoral, right or wrong imply a code, or a measuring device, and that the person you are talking to understands that measuring device.

Like I have said from the very beginning, unless we assume there is a common morality code between you and the person you are communicating with, terms like moral, immoral, right and wrong really have no meaning. They are terms that refer to nothing.

I'd be careful if I were you. You are beginning to sound as moronic and arrogant as that moron Tax Wonk.
