It always seemed to me that our abilities to weigh the morality of a decision...the old "right vs. wrong"...was one of the things that separated us from the rest of the animals. I'm sure you aren't suggesting that other animals can weigh the morality of their decisions, so I'm guessing you are saying that biological concerns can drive animals to make a decision that, as it turns out, was also the "morally correct" decision. So...biology can drive morality, even though no actual weight was given to "right vs. wrong". If i'm right in my supposition....let me ask you this: "Can a decision be truly valued on it's 'morality', if no weight was given to right vs. wrong." -- No matter how close to yours Another's steps have grown, In the end there is one dance you'll do alone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:274517 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
