Moral Compass and Soveriegnty

Well, this may be just an aside, but I was fascinated by this video,
of Paul Simon, in New York:   9 / 11 Sounds of Silence

as well as listening to these descriptions of a new film about
Martin Luther King, Jr.   :   King in the Wilderness

note: the link above is just a conversation about the film,
on Democracy Now and not the film itself.

But to the point,

it seems as some commenting on our current situation would
say, it seems we have ourselves in a real " pickle ". 

Difficult times.  The issue of moral compass seems to
have moved to the forefront, and that I would suggest
is similar to the arc of the Universe referred to by
Dr. King.

As I have mentioned before I believe we have a defacto
moral compass based on the notion that a correct moral
position is generated by the notion of being somewhere
between the opposition of liberal to conservative.

Unfortunately, I can't buy into that because that disturbs
my notion that a person is capable of being conversative
and / or liberal in the course of  a single day.  Now the
key notion here is that your perspective might change
but that does not affect the compass itself.  The compass
should always point in the right direction, but we
are capable of viewing the compass from different
directions for different reasons.  Second issue is of
course that within an individual the compass is always
evolving, ideally always pointing more toward justice.

The issue is how we resolve our various views and
our varying reading of our own moral compass.

So I wish to give some examples of this notion,
but I believe I will continue with examples in a later post.
