Deciding important public questions while pretending to a neutrality that cannot be achieved is a recipe for backlash and resentment. A politics emptied of substantive moral engagement makes for an impoverished civic life. It is also an open invitation to narrow, intolerant moralisms. Fundamentalists rush in where liberals fear to tread.

Armin Meiwes found someone willing to be killed and eaten by him. By libertarian standards this is moral because it was a free mutual choice. The German courts disagreed and Meiwes went to jail. He refused to eat meat there because factory farming is inhumane. This makes sense as the animals could not consent to their treatment. Lesson: the only meat that can be morally eaten is that of a consenting human being.
