And now for something completely different: a Tequila commercial.
This is thought-provoking. Is liberty or morality improved by using it, by thinking through your choices instead of following convention?

I think the fallacy is the subjective point of view. In the view of radical subjectivists, it’s better to do evil because you chose it than to do right out of social convention. The idea of right as a standard of obligation in itself is not considered. The best thing, of course, is to do right because you’ve pondered all the issues, but most people aren’t up for that kind of analysis. I’d rather live next door to someone who doesn’t rob me out of conventional habits, than one who chooses to rob me because he’s come to the considered conclusion that private property is evil.
Very good. I thought of this only as far as the strength of one’s morals. For instance, when girls in the 50s didn’t sleep around just because it wasn’t done, because respectable girls didn’t do that, they didn’t appear to have a moral objection to it, but only an aversion to rejection. Once it became reasonable to believe everyone was doing it, their only objection was removed.
