   This was an interesting one, especially the discussion of loyalty and ratting someone out. I would like to check out Aladair MacIntyre–the whole concept of narrative morality is similar to what Frank Chin was talking about. Maybe he says something about minorities. It’s also similar to the views of contemporary Judaism from the perspective of reformed Jews.

   I really liked Ajay’s and Rahul’s viewpoints. It’s something that I myself have felt. If people had that feeling of belonging, they might also have a greater feeling of civic responsibility.

   Here are my notes:

   Alasdair MacIntyre:

   Narrative storytelling morality

   Narrative self

   Communitarian

   Obligations from community–not consent

   Patriotism is an expression of an obligation of citizenship

   Ajay: Moral obligation to those who help to form your identity.

   Rahul: Love of country helps us develop a sense of civic responsibility

   Billy Balcher and Robert E. Lee

   I watched this episode before I voted on Measure 66/67. It helped more than commercials and the editorial board.

   Thanks.

   So how did you vote? I figure it’s going to be yes/yes in either case. I just don’t want to pay $150 if my small corporation makes less than that!

   I’ll never say. This was a tough one.
