    There is one valid disagrement...morality is only real,
    when it is exercised from the individual life and the
    intents/actions/choices of that life. THAT IS DYNAMIC

    Aggregate summations, or averages, or estimates
    of morality based on assembling other peoples'
    actions is a fiction, a reduction to Static Quality.

    The very 'mechanisms' for institutionalizing the attributes
    of quality and freedom over the attributes of profit/loss
    are themselves static qualities. To really work you and I must
    ourselves choose the quality and freedom in/by our own actions
    and not reduce them to just another set of competing choices.

    lead by example... (of course I have not REALLY disagreed.)

    thanks--mel
