The answer to all your questions is yes, little hawk.
Kevin, I was distinguishing between moral agreements which are born as cultural constrsaints, such as hats in chuirch or killing your first born on Friday if there are too many locusts this year, versus rationasl choices made for the highest good stemming from the situiation at hand. One of them is a bunch of arbitrary and oftenauthoritarian agreements that make up moral codes. The other is rationality and analysis being applied to the question of right action. Occasionally the two intersect. Not often,t hough!
