Ted, > There is nothing wrong with defining your morality so long as it doesn't hurt someone else.

Every action has consequences. Who's going to develop one's awareness of those consequences? And who's going to ensure that people remain aware?

For example, when you steal a song off the Internet, are you hurting anyone? Most people who do feel like they aren't. They might even come up with justifications in their mind, like the artists and the recording industry make too much money anyway.

All this to justify stealing something that they could have bought for $0.99 off of iTunes.

That's just a very small example of what happens when you let people define their own "morality."
