How can man care about a thing like morality? Through all history, man has felt a need for, let us call it an excuse, for his behavior. The problem is that it is simply an excuse, not a guide line for ones behavior. It never makes any difference in the end. There will never be any changes in mans behavior because he can not find any excuse for his actions. He will simply invent a proper excuse for his behavior. Man will continue his striving for POWER and PROFIT whether he does it under the heading Morality or not. The whole question of morality seems to me a little ad hoc. Why bother about justifying ones behavior when it is already controlled by such strong interests as POWER and PROFIT. The answer is that man has a strong desire to feel that what he do is the right thing. Take the example of USA's behavior in the gulf-war. Their excuse was the suffering of the Kuwaiti population, but their real concern was, of course, the oil. But would the UN take USA's interest in the oil as an excuse to kill thousands of Iraqi civilians? My point is that even if USA's interest was the oil, it was important to justify the attack in one way or the other. Man are not willing to admit that he acts from feelings of greed or profit hunger. It is much nicer to think of the acts as the normative implications of some "good" or altruistic moral theory. This moral theory does not have to be a whole consistent theory. It is often a so called "Christian Morality". The nice thing with "Christian Morality" is that nobody can tell exactly what normative implications that follows from it. This is because it is not clear which higher rules the normative implications is the product of. When USA is acting God in some conflict they do this with the excuse that their "Christian Morality" demands this from them. And because their morality is so "flexible" they can use it as an excuse for almost any behavior. It is not hard to see why this "morality(?)" is so useful to USA and the rest of the western world in their constant attempts to become God, Master of the Universe. ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- uXu #193 Underground eXperts United 1994 uXu #193 Call METALLAND SOUTHWEST -> +1-713-468-5802 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
