What is Morally Acceptable? America Speaks

May 28, 2012


Gallup recently surveyed Americans to find out their perception on the moral acceptability of certain political issues.

Their findings were quite interesting.

A few years back, I served on a grand jury in St. Clair County. What I noticed about every case we heard was it revolved around one of three themes: sex, money, or drugs. Unfortunately, there were a few that involved all three.

When I first saw this list, I thought of those three themes. If you substitute medicine for drugs, the list fits in those three categories.

I was really surprised that cheating on your wife is seen as less acceptable than being married to two women at the same time. I guess honesty counts for something?

What are your thoughts on the moral acceptability of the items listed here?
