"When he acts, and harms somebody, that he was acting in accordance with his belief system--" What harm? When your priest drives 80 miles an hour to get to the church on time, his belief in promptness being a virtue will not get him off the hook for causing accidents either ... so what? His mistake was in not setting the alarm earlier so that he could perform according to his beliefs and without breaking traffic laws, not in valuing promptness.

"Harm comes from acts, not beliefs." The interpretation of harm comes from the perception of an act as harmful or a belief about the act being harmful. What act related to Mojo's belief statement is harmful. What act is causing harm via his service and what is the legitimate damage that has been done?

Or if its gone down. Its now free if you don't have a car. Staten Island Ferry Fares: Passengers now ride the Staten Island Ferry for free . The fare for passengers, which had been 50 cents for a round trip between St. George, Staten Island, and the Whitehall Terminal in lower Manhattan, was eliminated in 1997. The fare for vehicles remains at $3. Ending the fare on the Staten Island Ferry allows Staten Islanders, many of whom had to pay two or even three fares, to reach Manhattan without an additional fare.
