Honesty and the SS Addendum

In my post about honesty and the SS I erroneously reported that there were only two issues with the Philosophy Now article. Actually there are three. The third one is the fiction that one has a duty to be loyal to society instead of "a moral code". Since morals properly defined are universal rights and wrongs; therefore, there can be no division between loyalty to society and loyalty to a moral code - You're welcome.

Vin Scully Redux

I was thrilled to hear that Mr. Scully has decided to return to the Dodgers for another season as the announcer. I was however disappointed with the reasoning behind the decision:  Feelings. Mr. Scully said that he would continue to return as long as he was excited about the game. He should have based his decision on something objective:  Talent. In Mr. Scully's case - voice quality. The reason that Mr. Scully has been an announcer for as long as he has is not enthusiasm, but talent. His ability to clearly announce the game. Mr. Scully should base his decision to return on whether or not his voice, not his heart, is still up to it.
