George, if we could agree on definitions - I'd wager the topic would vanish. These arguments about meaning and soul and opinion and who saw the parking slot first ... they are so meshed in words and semantics that achieving clear consensus on terminology is an untouchable ideal. I do have an admirable stroke though, don't I? The rhythm, the painstaking linearity - the sheer reach, permitted by the magnificence of the substrate...

Sorry George, but you didn't look close enough or far enough. Morality is defined as a system of right and wrong, or good and bad. Some times the word, draws angst from people who are afraid the word Moral is representative of groups who have a written definition of "All" that is moral or immoral, and a defined system of how "Everybody" should go about day to day stuff. That is not the topic I am on. It does sort of support the other side which is the "morality is learned" group. So, at least for me, it is just a question of whether it is an inborn essential element of humanness to have a sense for right and wrong, or not. It is innate.
