At the same time that I won't accept morality with which I do not agree, I must
live in a system in which a common morality has been developed. I don't see
anything wrong with lots of things that are against the law, so I base my
activities on a combination of what I want and what the consequences are. Is
that what you mean by a middle ground? If so, it's not "most of us," it's all
of us. No one agrees 100% with the body of law under which they live.
In your case, it does seem that you value the majority opinion on right and
wrong much more than I, or most Americans(?), do. Or did I read that wrong?
