Ethics

Ethics Taught accurately to account for each reward an exact amount a Kantian conscience reprehends a stray Romantic dividend. Publicly our just deserts are measured by our type of work. For what surgeons are forgiven clerks and watchmen go to prison. Few are ushered through the streets in black sedans by the police to carpeted chambers where the great decide the future of the State. Love, Genius, Power are for the elect. Underpaid and oversexed most lives are lived where intersect the ragged lines of job and sex. So if future preference won't assuage your trussed Byronic middle-age, think of all the lions who are languishing in Christian zoos.
