Thanks, Jeff. Here is more grist for you mill, previously posted.

Morality, ethics can be based on not wanting to hurt others,
or it can be based on the notion that non-complicance by
even a significant few can poison the well, so we should comply.
AFAI can tell, contract and civil law is neither but based on the idea that
Breaking a contract is a violation of civil law (perhaps) not criminal.
The distinction is huge and is practical. As a fairly idealistic and
