23. Thank you, I know about lawyers
and ethics. "Ethics" is what permits them to violate normal morals. I actually don't have a problem with them giving an honest defense. It's when they violate their own ethics that I complain.

What you are talking about is "mores", not "morals". And, I was not being fatuous. I quote,People who lived 1500 years ago and in Central America might have had a totally different sense of morality, and thusly considered it a sacred practice, a moral OBLIGATION.


You are saying, unmistakably, that is is "moral" to rip the heart out of a human being, if your sense of marlaity permits. Well, let me state, here and now, that it is not "moral" under any circumstances, to do so.

At any event, since neither you nor I can agree on what the difference between morals and ethics are, we should not expect conservatives to accept your views either, as I'm sure they have one of their own.
