At the moment I am too busy to participate in this discussion to any
depth.  I think that Chris is going in the right direction (even though
I don't agree with his conclusions).  It seems much more useful at this
point to continue to consider what is characteristic about the kinds of
descisions that people refer to as "moral" decisions.  Is it a characteristic
of grounds?  Rules of inference?  Motivations?  Try to remember that, at
this point, attacks upon definitions are quite proper; for now, "it's my
definition and you'll just have to go along with it" simply won't cut it
(since the goal is, after all, to try and find some common definitions which
we can agree with).
