Morality is one area that scares the bejesus out of me.
Conservative moralists argue that we must prohibit something because it's potentially dangerous, while liberal moralists argue that we must encourage it because it's potentially beneficial. Absolutists argue that morality cannot, or must not change, much to the chagrin of the relativists. And all this before we even get into the culturally directed moralities!
Compounding the problem is everyone's surety that THEIR morality is superior, with some even suggesting that their axiomatically superior morality be imposed upon others, by law, or even by force, if necessary.
