Relativism has been around for 30 years at least. The attitude "I can do what I want to do" as long as it's my body, consenting partners, or in the privacy of one's own bedroom. This relativism has now leaked into the market place where accountability to a greater good is more conspicuous.

How funny it is to me that we want accountability in the marketplace but not in the home, in relationships, in childbearing. Sorry, can't have it both ways. Either ethics are ethics or they're not... not situational, convenience based, depending on profitability or what's in it for me.

So if I kill someone who is trying to kill me, that is just as immoral as killing someone for the hell of it?

I don't agree with it. I think the moral course of action *is* dependent on the situation.
