tcpipWell, here's one for the history books. A Labor Party lobby group organising a demonstration for a Liberal Party member.
DEMONSTRATE FOR GEORGIOU'S BILL
Demonstrate in favour of Petro Georgiou's private members bill on asylum seekers
WHEN? WHERE?
Saturday 11th of June at 11am, 695 Burke Road, East Hawthorn (near Camberwell Rd Junction).
Sponsored by Labor for Refugees (Victoria)
(and pass on through your networks)
In other news, played first game of Outbreak of Hesesy yesterday. The party dynamic is good, the players, even the novices, have gotten into their roles with enthusiasm, and the story has a very creepy gothic edge. On the downside, my game system needs work, but I knew that. That's why I'm testing it. Speaking of which, I've been in some contact with B. Dennis Sustare, designer of Bunnies and Burrows, Swordbearer and several Paranoia modules. Only gamers will truly understand the significance of this.
Gave the service at the Unitarians yesterday. The speaker was Mary Bluett, President of the Australian Education Union, speaking on Public Education and the Education Act Review. Next week I'll be the speaker on the topic of "The Unitarian Jihad - An Internet Phenomenon". Most probably have seen it, but the original "call to arms" is here.
The next couple of weeks promises to be very busy. I have several articles to write; two presentations to two East Timor conferences (see previous posts), the above tjihadi piece, a short article for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
luciousmalfroy on older 'puter games, an issue of Red Friday on the same (of which I am very grateful to lederhosen for The Gamer's Manifesto. I'd better hurry up and get on with the next scene of Ten Thousand Islands as well.
Oh, as if there was any doubt whatsoever, apparently I'm a Kantian.

| You scored as Kantianism. Your life is guided by the ethical model of Kantianism: You seek to have consistent laws rule your actions, and your will is directed by reason. "I do not, therefore, need any penetrating acuteness to see what I have to do in order that my volition be morally good. Inexperienced in the course of the world, incapable of being prepared for whatever might come to pass in it, I ask myself only: can you also will that your maxim become a universal law?" --Immanuel Kant More info at Arocoun's Wikipedia User Page...

Re: Kant and Ethics
Date: 2005-06-07 06:40 pm (UTC)"do good though the heavens fall"
That was the stoics; and it was more "do justice though the heavens fall.
It seems to me that the "moral" part becomes basically irrelevant then, since it is superseded by the "ethical" part, but not vice versa.
Not at all. The moral part always has priority. One only ethically breaches a moral principle when one reasonably suspects a greater moral principle will be breached if the lesser isn't.
I suspect society wouldn't function if everyone told the truth
Society, in a sense, doesn't function. It has a background relation of truth (people in normal day to day life) which gives it some stability. But the systematic campaign of lies from politicians through to advertising is constantly threatening this stability.
It also leads to be both sociopathologies and cultural impoverishment, but that's another matter...
