Isn't ethics just a matter of opinion? Maybe not. Things that are "just" opinions have no ultimate truth. One opinion cannot be more right, or more correct, than another. Like ice cream. If I think mint chocolate chip is the best flavor ever, and you think it is so very, very, bad that eating it makes you unworthy of friendship....well, you and your wacky opinion can, just, go do whatever and I'll ignore it. But if you think that unlike mint chip ice cream, assault is a very good thing and you encourage all of your friends to go out and commit assaults. Well in this case, we have a problem. I can't just ignore it. This is not just an opinion. It's not just ice cream...
