Moral Responsibility

Who will protect the innocent?

This may be fine for proclaiming liberties, but what about declaring moral responsibility? Who determines the limits of these liberties or imposes obligations?

For instance, how wide should pornography be distributed in the name of freedom of speech?

Who will protect the weak?

Or influencing government through lobbying verses bribery?

Who will protect the children?


Or educating verses exploiting our children?


This is the problem. Since everyone can set their own moral standard, everyone can challenge the authority that is setting the standard.


Is open minded relativism possible?
