I never really thought about it before, but the idea of the common good can be vague sometimes. I think everyone should self-sacrifice at times but I can see how it's important to not just follow without question.Lauren DiMennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17275568597046998189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-409227712629702891.post-63288677566521756342013-03-24T07:06:33.203-04:002013-03-24T07:06:33.203-04:00You know my answer...

She may go too far, but I also think that this is one area in which one should have to address what she says. How often is "you should sacrifice for the common good" really "you should sacrifice for my pet project"? And should we sacrifice an actuality (now) for a mere potentiality (future people)?Troy Camplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515578686042143845noreply@blogger.com
