A little bit about absolutes


Now, some might accept a notion of, for example, the existence of a True Conservative
 or a True Liberal, which indicates there is an absolute line on some spectrum which
can be labeled at one point.  This does allow for the construction of a kind
of moral compass which has the premise that the true path must be somewhere
in the middle.

I would simply argue that I really don't think that works, it's kind of like a broken
clock which is right at least 2 time every day,,,,

Now we should reflect a bit on the natural world in order to consider if
there are some kinds of absolutes, and I would suggest that this observation
would indicate that because of the almost incredible variety and complexity
in nature, you can observe exceptions to almost any rule, unless it
is sufficiently general, and you might say generous in it's description.
For example if I say all leaves are green,,, well,, do you see that problem.

Or even all leaves are distinct..., well not that much, really.

Therefore, I would suggest both serious caution and thoughtfulness
be used in the creation of any kind of structure that relies too
heavily on this notion of absolute. Another good idea is not to
build cities on fault lines, but guess what .. ??
