I don't completely agree with you Crash.
I think someone can state a clear moral code that when examined and the effects of it considered would make sense. If it is hard to follow that doesn't make it bad.
Even if the individual espousing it messes up that doesn't mean it is wrong. Now, if
no one can manage it then you have a point.
But I consider myself to be kind and honest. But I'm not perfect. But I don't discard the idea of being kind and honest because of that.
