Adolph Hitler.  Charles Manson.  Both were maniacal men whose twisted minds
developed a morality in which certain people's lives SHOULD (as in morally
imperative) end.

Not to mention Ayatollah Kohmenhi.


There are many moral systems which dehumanize others, thus permitting their
slaughter.

Morals are simply a codification of the interaction between "what feels right" 
and "foresight and planning".

Since "what feels right" is an entirely personal, subjective concept, each
person's concept of morals is based entirely upon subjective claims.  Granted
that most of us share a great many of those "what feels right" feels, but
many others do no.  And you can argue until you are blue in the face, its
not going to change their minds.
