Force and good

It struck me, as I was watching the latest episode of LOST, that one of the points being made in this episode was that human beings can be good only when it is of their own free will.

If this is true, then whenever the government attempts to force people to be good, that doesn't make them good: it just makes them robots.

    You write an outstanding post, but this post is also thought provoking, and I will have to think about it a bit extra; I will come back soon.
