20. The moral high ground would be sacrificing for others, shouldn't it?

Not asking others to sacrifice for you. This is the postion of the op that I am so opposed to. He suggests sacrificing certain states of these United States and certain of its people(those groups of people to which he himself does not belong) for the greater good. That is why I alerted on this post. Not because I think we should not seek common ground, though we should seek common ground first with those more likely to listen. Religion doesn't really have that much to do with it. I don't want to see anyone sacrificed. The term "Greater Good" makes me shiver.
