Here's a weird theory I just thought of.
I'm watching a federal government debate about gay marriage. You're probably all aware that the federal government of Canada is considering (quite strongly, it seems) legalizing it. The prime minister said something along the lines of, Legalizing gay marriage doesn't infiltrate freedom of religion.
Of course, I thought of you guys and our debates about the American government back in the fall. You guys (I won't name names) seem to oppose legalization of gay marriage because that would mean our government was advocating sin. Our/Your laws should be based upon morals, and homosexuality is immoral, so they might as well legalize first-degree murder. You guys have a good point!
So, I was thinking, the reason communism doesn't work is because nobody's motivated to do their jobs, since they're going to be paid anyway. What drives capitalism, is people see each other, and want to be doing better jobs, so they work hard in order to get better pay. That is, what drives capitalism is envy. Envy is a sin. So do capitalist countries advocate sin, by merit of their being capitalist?
