My wife and I went to see "It's a Wonderful Life" on the big screen in Camden, Maine last year. It is even more wonderful in a theater.

Our government, and no less so its leaders haven't a clue what moralness is:

The moral imperative of life is to live a life that detracts not at all from the lives available to those who will follow us into this world.

Simply put, no one has the right even to gamble when the wager is the future, as our scientists do every day. Detracting from the future as do our politicians, is generally cumulative, and thus simply detracting from the experience of life for the future is also immoral. Destroying diversity diminishes the experience of the future, so it too is immoral.

The ethic you see the FBI working to enforce is the Libertarian ethic, for every market a supplier, for every supplier a market.

Libertarians would make unfettered arms sales and drug sales all legal. Libertarians are immoral because they would allow the creation of economic entities that would be a detriment to the quality of every life in the future.

Unfortunately, trade is killing this world wholesale, bargain basement... It's a 70% off sale...
