The problem in the rectitude business is how to not lose the rich
evildoer trade. If one brings up things like Ten Commandments, unjust
war, mass murder, etc. they are just going to go down the street to

Who is going to tell the operator of a programming sweat shop that

Who is going to tell M$ that paying bribes to News Corp is unethical?
