Ed T, I suspect you were trying to be sarcastic, but I believe you nailed it. There is no universally accepted moral code. One person may think it's acceptable to steal from a person who's stolen from them. Another person may think that that's wrong, but they could understand stealing to feed one's family. Someone else may think it's wrong to steal, no matter what. A moral code isn't necessarily one we'd all think it a good one.
