while i do not believe in absolutes in the natural world.. I can see where in civilization absolutes are necessary. The first and formost place i see a need for absolutes, is in LAW, CRIME and PUNISHMENT. Without absolutes in this area you allow for interpretations of law... and that is a tool used by attorneys to manipulate the laws to determine the outcome of a case. This can lead to injustices being created all because a law was allowed to be interpreted in such a way that a guilty individual, or entity be aquitted... .The only other place i can think of in which deals in absolutes is Mathematics.. try as we may, there simply just isn't a way to make 2+2=3....
