New America - Acceptable/Unacceptable Behaviour

This is the first installation of what will become a series of observations. My motivation comes from a New York Times Op-Ed by Paul V. Kane.

It is acceptable to display your fitness inequality by wearing tight clothing (or not) that reveals buns of steal and ripped abs. It is a display of a superior workout ethic, dietary superiority (even if it includes the use of steroids), self-discipline, and reproductive potential.

It is unacceptable to make a display of moral and ethical superiority, after all isn't it a subjective matter? It is out of bounds to boast of chastity, integrity, or honesty. Respect that everyone is morally equal simply because our moral and ethical tastes may differ.
