Re: Religious Ideology versus Political Ideology: What\'s the differenc
[ QUOTE ]
What's more important, "security" or "rights"? And what do you base it on?
The ability to "say what you want" or the guarantee of a job?
Political -isms put valuations on lots of things. Valuations that you cannot 'prove', but are often the basis of the -ism. Just like a religion.

Good questions. I guess if you are going to ignore the issues on a case by case basis, and only make decisions from a blind faith in "rights" then it's pretty hard to distinguish from a blind faith in the flying spaghetti monster. Real world decisions aren't abstractions like "choose security or freedom", though, so it's much easier to weigh pros and cons in the specific application of that concept so that you don't have to fall back onto only philosophy questions. What do you think people should make decisions based on?
