Thanks, Rich.  I'm glad you liked what I said, but it turns out I didn't
quite say what I really wanted to say.  In response to Michael saying
that ethics is some kind of "higher" truth that can only be learned via
revelation, I meant to say:

   "Ethics" is a word we use to describe a process in which humans
   evaluate the actions of themselves and others.  Given that the human
   being performing these evaluations is a physical system, ethical
   evaluation is a physical activity.  So you can think of ethics as
   a branch of physics.
