        @protoAmerican Show me principles that have reliably bad consequences -- and I'll show you bad principles.

        @SamHarrisOrg You know as well as I do that utilitarianism is compromising (weighing bad cons. against good) on flimsy (unprincpld) grounds.

        @protoAmerican Deontology is covert utilitarianism. Principles are deemed "good" because they generally have good effects.

        @SamHarrisOrg I don't agree and I think you're well versed in the "duty" conflicts that arise between the two systems. Nice convo, thanks.

        @SamHarrisOrg @tomfriedman the top comments make more sense, giving up freedoms to save freedom, a response out of proportion to the threat

        @SamHarrisOrg If the NSA can't even keep a lid on their own secrets, how are we supposed to trust them with our most personal information?

        @SamHarrisOrg @tomfriedman even if no known abuse now, what about the potential for vast, unaccountable future abuse?
