### Hey, I don't have a sense of Moral Clarity!

I am mostly annoyed by stupidity and hypocrisy but after that all this
ethics stuff gets rather mushy and ill-defined which is no surprise,
since ethics is just human wishes frilled up in fancy wording and
therefore likely to be confused and messy.

rights as a useful moral notion, I am being pigeonholed in the same
little imaginary spot in the ethical configuration space. What gives?
