[QUOTE="mothcorrupteth, post: 74244229, member: 398885"] "There are times when men’s passions are much more trustworthy than their principles. Since opposed principles, or ideologies, are irreconcilable, wars fought over principle will be wars of mutual annihilation. But wars fought over principle will be wars of mutual annihilation. But wars fought for simple greed will be far less destructive, because the aggressor will be careful not to destroy what he is ghting to capture. Reasonable–that is, human–men will always be capable of compromise, but men who have dehumanized themselves by becoming the blind worshipers of an idea or an ideal are fanatics whose devotion to abstractions makes them the enemies of life." (Alan Watts, 1957, [I]The Way of Zen[/I], Ch. II) If you try to play the game of thrones from the standpoint of "moral duty," you will lose. It is why the Democrats are losing ground right now. It is why Southern liberals will never come around to the way most of us pro-lifers argue. Because everyone knows that ideologues can't be reasoned with or bargained with. Everyone knows that ideologues are existential threats. Understand, I'm not [I]justifying [/I]white supremacy. As my sidebar says, I'm an Old Whig monarchist--what I care about is preserving traditional British-American culture through libertarian-conservative government; I could care less if it's blacks or whites doing the preserving. Rather, I'm saying it's in the interest of all factions, especially your own, to start from your opponents' practical incentives rather than from "moral duty."
