That is a far cry from thinking that right and wrong change with the cultural and with circumstances. If both Penske and the people that wrote the platform believed in moral relativism there would be no argument because the two of them could just agree that certain morals apply to one and not the other.
A person that is a moral relativist does not really believe in right or wrong, or Just or unjust.

You're incorrect. I am a moral relativist and I not only believe in right and wrong, but I believe in some absolute rights and wrongs. However, unlike Penske, I am willing to put them up for debate, and I also believe I can reconcile them into a coherent whole.If I couldn't, I wouldn't waste my time here, because I would not be able to do anythhing but troll. And that is an insult to anybody who believes that honest debate can create an atmosphere of change.
