You are right. Maybe. ( Some ) social patterns do not have morality as an attribute. The moral ones do. In fact, morality does.
I did not say that morality is derived from, but that morality is of the social. Is-ness. On the other hand I cannot think of a single social pattern that does not tip it's hat to morality in some way or other. My huggies are clean as a whistle. ________________________________ From: John Carl <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, September 14, 2010 6:36:06 PM Subject: Re: [MD] How far do you go to preserve individual life?

They are driven by morality, they model upon it, but morality certainly isn't social. I assumed you'd read the books? Therein you'll find that the universe as a moral order is a high Quality idea. Morality as derived from the social order is how the Victorians viewed it.
