Supe, you are wrong. Moral principles are culturally based. Your morals are not mine. What you find to be perfectly moral, I do not. It is obvious that you do not think that homosexuality is immoral. I do not agree.

Your "voting" analogy is flawed. We are speaking of taking hard earned money from one person and giving it to another, and not very efficiently. This is against my will. We are not speaking of a road, or a bridge, or an Army to defend us, or some other common good. We are discussing reditribution of wealth. And some are suggesting that if this is not done, violent revolution will occur.

Some people are smarter, or better looking, or have more ambition, etc. And some are not. We are not discussing the physically or mentally ill. We are discussing otherwise healthy individuals without the motivation, or ability to achieve greatness, or wealth. Unfortunately, these people need to be happy with their lot.
