True. It’s never black or white. I just pointed out the two contrasts.

Your basic premise is: the desire to make money disqualifies you morally.
My basic premise is: the absence of a desire to make money disqualifies you morally.
That is not what I am saying. I also see things very differently from what you say. If anything, the first premise is closer to the truth (but still)..
Morality is defined by things that are disconnected from personal gain (monetarily or other).
What I am saying actually is that it is funny to see a porn producer saying he represents free speech
I am all for free sex, free love and free transportation: D Don’t get me wrong
BUT A politician saying he represents the society's call for power and governing is funny and cynical. Those who can say this are the society itself not the people in power.
