GOOD and bad, RIGHT and wrong - are THE ONLY VARIABLES in this equation.
<shrug> I disagree. On a personal level, right and wrong certainly exist. I believe this is the only plane where morality has any real meaning. On a geopolitical level, good and evil are meaningless, UNLESS you make the simple statement that ALL states are evil. That I can agree with. Like street gangs, for instance. But once you're IN that game, there is no more good and evil. There is our gang, and their gang. We compete, and that's the game. Like chess. I was never much a fan of chess. Simulated war game silliness. Nor sports like football where you're running back and forth towards opposing goals, and playing at invading territory. Cricket and baseball are more my speed. You share the field, and take turns being on the top of the mound, and getting shit thrown at you. It has an element of team play, and an element of one-on-one competition while the team stands around.
