Likely we aren’t all exceptions to that Wonderful Rule of Moron - so who here in the T-Nation PWI is the classic voting “moron”?

In my own opinion, a voting moron is one who considers the attributes of a person over their principles and actions.
Wouldn’t actions and principles be a part of one’s attributes?

No. I was thinking those qualities that are separate from action and principle. For example, are a person’s actions consistent with their principles?
I suppose one could consider the collective notion of action and principle a part of a person’s character; in that case I would agree with you about it being an quasi-attribute. Again, we are playing around with ambiguous terms. What exactly is a person’s character composed of besides consistency of behavior?
Not being difficult but it just raised the question.
wouldn’t you consider one’s morals then consistency of behavior?

Well, again, just because a person has a particular set of morals doesn’t mean they behave ethically (or even act in accordance with their own morals). Ones morals are part of ones overall principles. We could call principles a person’s general philosophy.
And just because one is consistent in ones beliefs and actions does not make that person, ethical. For example, someone who might believe that might makes right and acted in accordance with that principle would not be someone I would consider ethical.
If I were to better restate my main thesis it would be thusly: One should be able to ask, does a particular person’s principles correspond with ones own – for example, do I agree with his ideas, morals, etc? If that question is answered in a positive manner then one should further ask, does that particular person act in accordance with his own principles – is he consistent?
To me nothing else matters. I do not hold in high esteem anyone who considers anything else; for example, why does the money someone spends on a haircut matter?
I agree with that although as far as the haircut thing…
If you are a dude and you spend more than $30 on a haircut, you might have “caught the ghey”

Yes, in the very least it is quite vain.
But who knows, maybe he imported some weird endangered animal fetus to use as a conditioner…in that case…nope still ghey.
