juju, read a few pages, back, just before dham's first post, by nature taking advantage of the need of others is exploitation, if I see (to use that old example) heroin on the streets to junkies at inflated prices - its exploitation, no? If I sell sun dried tomatoes to yuppies at inflated prices, it’s also exploitation, see my point? Whether both think they're getting a good deal is irrelevant.

Your definition of exploitation does not seem immoral to me. If both parties actually do get a good deal, where is the immorality? How exactly can we have civilization at all without being able to work together?

Morality is an invention of man -- created so that civilization might be possible. If we can't work together and trade our skills with one another without being immoral, then what's the point?



BTW -- what in gods name is, "unequivocal tergiversation"?
