If we were naturally good there would be no prisons. If we were naturally good there would be no addiction. If we were naturally good there would be no infidelity. If we were naturally good there would be no word for lies.
More examples of statements I would say were even less than wrong. Being wrong-in-fact is, as it happens, one of the major ways I believe that we're fundamentally compromised moral agents. Not just in our behaviors, but in how we think about morality and how we construct our moral demands and appraisals. Granted, this has to do with my view that morality is fact alike...but if it isn't, then people aren't really morally good, or morally bad..none of these things we're discussing is actually bad...it's just against some opinion or some counties rules.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
