		<description><![CDATA[No matter what the other issues there can be little doubt about one thing; morals are tricky things. Most people have them in one form or another but interpretations and views on them differ wildly from person to person.   The Oxford English dictionary defines a moral thus: &#8220;concerned with the principles of right and wrong [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2125200&amp;post=39&amp;subd=swampland&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
