The Social Justice Discussion
Derek Staffanson at A Liberal Mormon has completed his three part series on the topic of Social Justice.
Post 1: The Need To Help The Poor - We need to help the poor. We don’t usually do that. That is a problem.
Post 2: The Moral Conservative Criticism of Social Justice - Conservative hypocrisy supports little basis for a moral criticism of social justice…whether publicly enforced or privately donated.
Post 3: The Libertarian Criticism of Social Justice - Libertarians are against enforcing social justice through use of government’s guns…they should make louder and more frequent arguments for private charity or else get out of the way of government efforts at social justice.
Go check out his thoughts and join the discussion. Major props to Derek for all the thought and excellent writing skills he expended on this effort!

Daniel,
You’ve now fulfilled the requirements to be a good generous libertarian. Congratulations

Yes, but I haven’t fulfilled the individual requirements of a good generous Mormon to help my fellow man.
