Kent's "Hooligan Libertarian" Blog

This blog is the clearinghouse for all the writings of Kent McManigal. Gather 'round and read my hard-core, REAL, libertarian/anarchist views on just about everything. I also write a weekly column for the Clovis News Journal, as well as sporadic columns elsewhere, plus stuff here that you'll find nowhere else. Enjoy!

"Good"- the definition

To me "good" is anything that voluntarily helps someone who deserves to be helped. That would be what I consider "actively good".

It can also be anything that avoids harming those who do not deserve to be harmed, although many people would probably just think of this as an ethically neutral act. I think of this as being "passively good".

There is no obligation to be actively good, while there is an obligation to be at least passively good.
