Paul Walker and Ally Walker wonder if the Golden Rule could be a stand-alone ethic.

The golden rule does not apply to corporations because corporations have no soul.

I know that there is freedom of the press but that is not my objection. Are the editors philosophical nincompoops or can they defend this article?

My doctor used to say, "you are my easiest patient."

Now she says, "You are my most unusual patient but don't pout."

Yeah that's what I'm doing, POUTING.

You don't need a soul to follow a rule. Even this one. Besides that, a soul is just a fancy word for a mind that dies with its matter.

I'll rephrase that then. The mind dissipates as the matter no longer is purposed or functions for it, being then repurposed for something else, or bugger all, down the road. As you stated, it biodegrades.

Actually it does...they will reap the seeds of their own destruction as the means they used to subjugate other's will be the same means they are subjugated by.
