Thanks for drawing our attention to that article, Alison. I liked his
conclusion too:
> Perhaps when we're making our judgments - and carefully not making our
judgments - we should bear in mind the wisdom of someone who thought more
about morality than most of us, Friedrich Nietzsche: "It is not enough to
possess a talent: one must also possess your permission to possess it - eh,
my friends?" <
