Moral flexibility

So Gen. Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, thinks homosexuality is immoral. To quote Mr. Arlo Guthrie:

I went over to the sargent, said, “Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I’ve rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I’m sittin’ here on the bench, I mean I’m sittin here on the Group W bench ’cause you want to know if I’m moral enough join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein’ a litterbug.” He looked at me and said, “Kid, we don’t like your kind, and we’re gonna send you fingerprints off to Washington.”

– Alice’s Restaurant, written and recorded by Arlo Guthrie

I think Tom Toles said it more eloquently with his cartoon today.
