And exactly how you defend deontology without any reference to the consequences? - in fact you have explicitly said "to judge actions by their expected results". So you have said deontological ethics is justified by reference to consequences. Is it any surprise that people who actually think about the real world rather than philosophers' fantasies prefer consequentialism. ADDED: Thinking about it further, the only people who use deontological ethics any more that I can think of are religious people and Marxists, those who have a transcendental source for their required actions.
