""I don't agree, Kendall - there has to be an element of concern for your fellow man/woman...""

IMHO that doesn't go far enough Joe.

It has to be more than an element. Concern for one's fellows must be paramount.

That in itself removes the question of crime from the equation.

If your concern for your fellows overrides your personal desires, then murder, rape, theft, and all other crimes become impossible for you.

That is why I equated right with the concept of self limitation to avoid harm (physical, material, and psychological).

If one follows that precept, it becomes impossible to do wrong.

I ask this in a spirit of simple genuine enquiry. Can anybody show me anything fallacious in my analysis?
