Definitions: A Triumph!

[cjsmith]

I finally figured out the difference between "immoral" and "unethical".

For years people have tried to nitpick at me by saying those two words have different meanings. Looking at dictionaries hasn't helped me. Way too many definitions of "immoral" reference "ethics" and way too many definitions of "unethical" reference "morals." So I figured the nitpickers were just making shit up, as many nitpickers do. But I figured it out!

"Immoral" is a word REPUBLICANS use. "Unethical" is a word DEMOCRATS use.

Ta-daaaa!

I don't use the word 'moral' because I feel like it has a connotation of religiousness. I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone call some variation of sexuality "unethical."

But then, if I had to pick, I suppose I'd say I was Democratic :). I'm not terribly fond of either side of two-party politics, but...
