[Vision2020] What is relative moralis

[bubba jones]

I don't think it does solve the question. It does answer some questions but 
mostly expands on your common sense theory.

Using the US civil and criminal codes to answer right and wrong does work 
some of the time, however, it doesn't answer all questions.

In order for us to get anywhere I guess my question needs to be a bit more 
narrow.  Is there anything, and I do mean anything, that we can all point to 
and say that was an absolutely wrong thing to do?

And, if we can come up with something that is absolutely wrong absolutely 
every time by what means do we come to that conclusion?
