The word, immoral, should stand for something more focused, not be a catch-all for all less than desirable thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors.

Karen, I believe some people (not pointing at you nor anyone in particular) confuse the concept of immoral--with harmfulness. Either may involve the other, but not necessarily so. I believe that morality only involves actions toward others; but I see it being referred to in self choices. What I do only to myself can never be immoral, because every person's thought of their own good or their own self interest, is subjective and personal. You can sleep in your hammock your whole life. And you can eat red meat and pop percodan. There is nothing immoral about it. People are not immoral because they do not meet someone elses standards of personal conduct or choices. Playing golf 8 hours a day does not make me immoral. Kicking the ball to win the game and the money, does <g>
