Nicely put. Yup, that's the meaning of 'ethics' I thought you had in mind. And the ironic part is that 'carpet burn' is individual. Two people could be faced with the exact same quandary. One resolves it using Behavior X and supports both his further evolution and that of the sentient beings around him. The other resolves the situation using the same Behavior X and gets 'carpet burn.' Go figure. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
