My point was not to promote acceptance of behavior. I think what we call morality is largely a result of rewards and consequences. Upholding and reinforcing boundaries is how we create change. That's different than holding people to a yardstick of morals which we expect to be genuine and selfless in nature, however. I think that people will follow what they perceive to be in their best interest; there are plenty of laws which I have very little investment into but I choose to follow because the perceived consequences outweigh the benefits of breaking them. I believe this is true of most change in the world.
This is, of course, largely philisophical in nature which I apologize for. There is only limited benefit to such discussion.
