CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS ON MORALITY, LAWS AND THE GOLDEN RULE:
The golden rule leads the list of our moral tautologies. Yet we fail to examine its origin, its thoughtless usage, its various interpretations, its latent error, and its pernicious interference with moral nuances and our intuitive secular system of laws and justice.
Scratch the surface. What we mean in our positive expression of the rule is to be nice. To be nice.
Any other interpretation, usage, or practice of doing to others is subject to our laws on human behavior.
