Default Moral Question

Posted By: steve k

Halleygator - regarding your "moral police" comment. While throughout the thread you have succinctly commented on the basics of the free market enterprise system, I'm not sure that you fully grasp what the "moral police" were expressing. Possibly this thread took a slightly different spin based on some misinterpretation, myself included, of the situation. Charles did first post an "anonymous" reply to his own thread - I had never seen that done before, so the answer was initially passed over. But in my view, the "moral police" are saying that taking advantage of an innocent little old lady is just a step above taking candy from a baby - that is not what the free market enterprise system should be about. My feeling is that taking advantage of an innocent little old lady is very, very, very close to the definition of stealing. There should be more "moral police" in this world whose instincts are good and as Charles pointed out, he was going to take the cards on a consignment basis, which seemed like a good solution for everybody.
