I like the one that goes something like this, "Do as ye will, but Harm None" --something like that.
Getting better with that "senior moments" issue, Socratoad? You know I clipped a little ditty a few weeks ago about Colorado toads that people were buying and licking to get high.
I'm sorry, I can't resist - you getting all your licks? lol

The problem, however, is the "practice what you preach" part.

Ahh, Socratoad, this clip reminds me of another good Golden Rule clip from you a year ago! Both are great clips, but last year's Golden Rule was more aesthetically pleasing and well worth taking time to review.

also exhibit a wide range of beliefs. But there is near unanimity of opinion
among almost all religions, ethical systems and philosophies that each person should treat others

have passages in their holy texts, or writings of their leaders, which promote
this <I>Ethic
