Title: It had to be asked (Moral Compass)

I finally completed my college crap....so now I'm back....and in this It had to be asked edition, I must ask. How does one justify color 'morality' and why do you root for that color's 'mentality'. Please note this isn't a question of are your color choices good or evil, it is why we choose them and how we justify them. For example...

I like the morality behind black, it does what it wants and is pretty simple, right and wrong, I'm right and they are wrong...

or...

I like white, angels are sexy and knights kick @$$!

Red Mana. Freedom is all that matters. Unbound pursuit of your goals.

Green Mana. Life giving energy and peace combined with massive beasts, and uncontrollable forces of nature.

Green — it will either adapt to its surroundings (easiest color of mana to ramp up that I've seen, plus cards like Prismatic Omen, Channel the Suns and Fist of Suns make it a major threat to other colors) or it will obliterate everything in its path (by way of near-infinite creatures / tokens / counters / power, plus the tramplers and 'super tramplers').

Red- Pure emotional release, freedom

White- Organized, Stable Foundation

Black- Doing whatever it takes, Sacrifice, Self Indulged

Green- Adaptive ability to overcome.  

I don't play blue. I know that this actually corners me and leaves a power source untapped, however it is one color that on its own I have yet to appreciate or completely understand its true potential. I have seen Mono Blue and Blue Hybrid Decks that where unstoppable in the past, so I know of what it can do, but when I have tried it alludes me. When put against the colors I like and can see within me:

It seems to be one of the SLOWEST colors to play (Red) 

mainly reactive/ not pro active (White)

has no hard hitting creatures on their own (Green)

is behind the curtains manipulative instead of out in the open (Black)

Blue - Power is everything. Control.
Will do anything to achieve victory; through politics, theft, bribery, even manipulation of space/time to gain ultimate control.

Blue: Clear your mind of thought. You don't need to make a decision, just let me make them all for you.

Black: I will live eternal.

Nah. That's too far to the right for me. Conservative yes. Libertarians worry me, freedom is not something that should be limitless in all areas. That and I'm against their stance on drugs, the Federal Reserve, and Free Trade (though I'm against most of the country when I believe the US should have some tarifs to prevent jobs from being sent ocerseas).

I'm a nihilistic theist, I decide who I vote for with a coin toss (or a D4 in some situations.) I don't really have a stance on anything....at this point I think we're all kinda screwed (politically speaking of course) and that it has little impact on anything...because NOTHING happens for a reason...

Agreed. Human life is without purpose. When we die, we will be forgotten.

Human life must have purpose or why bother with putting up with each other? Why have law?

I'm all about anarchy.

It's much easier to be the worst and remembered than best and remembered.

Also, Darth, you just said that without purpose, there wouldn't be law. Then, you went on to say that you were for anarchy.

I'm with the worst, why let them merely speak my name throughout the ages, when I can make them revile it? Sort of a final gift to this thrice damned race if you will...

But I don't bring destruction...I'm bringing the most dangerous thing of all...truth...may they speak my name and revile it...for I will warp the very human mindset...my lineage, will be my fold of believers upon this world...they shall know only truth, and blind truth at that...but it cannot be an ugly truth...they will never go for it...so I must...add to it just ever so slightly, for why believe an ugly lie when I can provide the most beautiful truth the likes humanity has never seen...hmhmheeheehahahahaahahahah!
