The true history of the tragedy called "morality." From Freedomain
Radio the largest and most popular philosophy show in the world:
http://www.freedomainradio.com This is the true history of what is
commonly called "morality." If you were the only thief in the world
imagine how easy your job would be! There would be no locks no
security systems no passwords no police. You could just take stuff

standard of good behavior and then create an invisible exception
for yourself and your friends by calling it something else. "THOU
SHALT NOT STEAL!" -- Ok all right theft is wrong! Thus those in
power have to call their theft "taxation." "THOU SHALT NOT K
