But, of course, our various 'morality' codes, both explicitly stated and
implied, are human 'reaction programs' that are transmitted to us
(incorporated into our neuro-circuitry reaction-logic configuration)
'culturally' -- by our observations (experiences) of other's behaviors, and
of their reactions to our personal behavior -- and 'enforced' by our fear of
others' reactions to our personal behavior if we 'violate' such behavior
codes, we being a socially symbiotic species, and utterly dependant upon each
others' good graces for our individual survival.
Of course (and here's my plug), the Bill of Rights is a standard
('Constitutional') 'morality code' reaction program which is designed so that
we don't have to live our lives in fear of each others' otherwise arbitrary
'morality' reaction programs, and the reactions to our personal behavior (or
skin color, etc.) that such arbitrary codes may direct in others.
Let me know if you like that logic, 'cause I love it! :)
