"No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names readily transferable to that or this."
Something is good or bad if in my heart, I truly believe it to be good or bad. If this is true for all people, how can we as a society define morality, or even laws. If I don't find a law bad, is it my duty to obey this law? What are morals? Are they a universal ideal? According to self reliance, no set list of morals can exist for all people. Each person must decide which morals he holds to be true in himself.

The Great Debate
Having watched parts of the presidential debate, I realized how boring they were. So let's spice this debate up a bit and turn it into a legitimate competition with points being awarded and a clear winner being declared.
1st up- The Presidential Eat Off
- The president should be a real American, not some tofu loving, anti-hunting, pro-choice sissy.
That is why the Presidential Eat Off will show the real stomach and guts of our future president.
The 2 candidates will challenge Joey Chestnut, championship eater, to a hot dog eating contest.
The loser? Appearing on Oprah with Clay Aiken to discuss his policy on gay marriage. The winner? 5 points and the coveted mustard belt.
- End Result: Chestnut embarrassed as McCain slices through those hot dogs like the Vietnamese jungle. Wins by 5. Obama and Clay Aiken have a post Oprah dinner together and remain close friends.
2nd Competition- Vice Presidential Cook-off
- The vice-president is our nation's wingman (or woman) and should reflect as such. A strong supporter of all presidential decisions no matter how ridiculous.
The 2 candidates will have 1 hour to complete a full meal for judges, which are internationally renowned food tasters with strong political ideas.
End Result: Palin, the heavy favorite coming in, cooks up a meal made for the blood thirstiest of tigers. An appetizer of pork cubes, filet Mignon, and chocolate covered bacon for desert. However, she is deducted 2 points for lack of vegetables. Biden looks doomed, having only tofu with peanut butter sauce and an eggplant sandwich. But he comes up big with 5 minutes remaining, pulling an asparagus souffle out of the oven that makes even the carnivorous republicans weep.
The Final Contest: Athleticism
- The president is no stranger to athletics. Rumor has it that George W. Bush runs 20 miles every morning after bench pressing 500 pounds. And we have had no president greater.
The 2 candidates will participate in one 100 meter race and one game of shuffle board, each testing a different area of competition.
End Results: Obama, former high school track star, crushed McCain in the 100 meter dash. McCain, apparently, has never ran before and looked completely lost. However, McCain, former professional shuffleboarder for the San Antonio Sliders, edges out Obama on the final slide.
Final Score: Obama 7, McCain 2
Although the final competition is a tie, Joe Biden comes up big. Obama wins the 2008 Presidential Election, with the help of a killer souffle.
