Which of course would be heroic, albeit rather crushing if the bus didn't stop soon enough. Oooch eech ouch.

Don't try moral relativism with me either, Shawnee. Not only is it an altogether hopeless tool for assessing moral merit -- it's designed not to, in point of fact -- it's used to disguise shameful evils, not to remove them. I gave it up decades ago and haven't missed it even once since.

I hew to the worthwhile, and get hollered at for it. Some folks are willing to stay happy with the less-than-worthwhile, and they loudly express a preference that I join them in this.
