Of the same species, there is variance along lines of rot, dryness, bugginess, knots, etc. However: almost everything in each of these groups possesses all of its defining traits, and those that do not have all of them have most of them.
So you would use a wet, rotted, bug infested, knotty log for your fire because you prefer that species over any other? I would choose my log based on it's own merit.
Quote:Slavery is not necessarily morally wrong. We make slaves of dogs, horses, cattle, pigs... what is so different about making slaves of humans? I say squat, and although i dislike slavery (at least where it applies to me being a slave or having slaves): i do not consider it morally wrong.
Your concept of morality is flawed.
