| - Moral Responsibility is the purview of “adults” who have supposedly gained the necessary experience and moral education to tell the rest of us what to do. It is commonly observed that the higher the position one aspires to attain in society, the higher the “moral standard” that the individual is held to. The degree of moral rectitude is therefore directly proportional to the magnitude of the hypocrisy. For example, in the United States, the President claims to “. . .

| - Moral Responsibility is the purview of “adults” who have supposedly gained the necessary experience and moral education to tell the rest of us what to do. It is commonly observed that the higher the position one aspires to attain in society, the higher the “moral standard” that the individual is held to. The degree of moral rectitude is therefore directly proportional to the magnitude of the hypocrisy. For example, in the United States, the President claims to “. . . Champion quality public education for all children. Education is the Civil Rights frontier of the 21st Century, . . .” Then, ( as if he had never expounded such views) he sends his own children to the expensive, elitist “Sidwell Friends” School, and destroys the most successful public school voucher program in the nation. This is a pristine example of Moral Irresponsibility in action. If not for the existence of genuine moral responsibility, such audaciously successful Hypocrisy would lose its breathtaking obtuseness. The above instance is a prime example of one of the basic principles of moral responsibility, “Do as I say, and not as I do.” “Do as I say, not as I do,” serves to distinguish the leader from the followers (the Moral Imperative). If the leader simply allowed “monkey see, monkey do”(unfettered Human Nature) he would be relinquishing the power of moral hypocrisy to which he is entitled by virtue of his: a) greater capacity for violence and cruelty; b) larger genitalia; c) greater predilection for bureaucratic treachery, connivance and back-stabbing. Moral Responsibility in modern society, serves to bolster the claims to power (and the incomes) of the governmental, academic and therapeutic classes. In other words “Hypocrites call the Shots.” For example, if a white student were to make it a habit of making racist diatribes against blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc., that student would likely be a) disciplined by the academic or police establishment, and; b) forced to undergo “therapeutic” re-education and sensitivity “training” or “punishment and rehabilitation.” By making him an example, then a scapegoat, then by “redeeming him” within the system, the system validates and vindicates itself, thereby justifying the outrageous salaries of policemen, tenured deans and professors and providing a sinecure for “therapists” of all kinds. The fact that they themselves are likely closet racists, pedophiles and the like, simply magnifies the frisson of sadistic pleasure the Hypocrite classes enjoy as they crack the moral whip on the rest of us.
