Reply #7: Horseshit.....Basic Right and Wrong is not "moral purity"

[Armstead]

I get so tired of people trotting out this mantra that wanting something better than we've got is "moral purity."

I know I'm not an example of purity, and I'm not looking for someone who epitomizes that in politics. But I DO know how screwed up things have gotten because we have turned society over to the most amoral, greedy, power crazed and blind among us. And we as a society have bought into their message -- to our own detrement.

There is a midpoint between total right and total wrong. But we are so far from that in the direction of wrong that we have to inject and demand better than we're getting.
