Sorry... that was ambiguous. I meant that there were "No takers" for options two and three in the poll, which, as I said, seem to me to restate option five in a sort of unromantic, consequences-directed way...

Didn't mean you.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on ethical behavior... it's always interesting to see how someone who is trying to work out his/her own basis for "how to act" goes about it.

Although I'm an entirely secular person, I'm partial to Rabbi Hillel's remark: "What you yourself hate, don't do to your neighbor. This is the whole law; the rest is commentary. Go and study."
