"Why should I believe you when you seem to be amoral?"

If we took this argument seriously, we (at least those of us in the United States) would have to pretend to be Christians, too.

Optimizing your life to minimize the worst that Mrs Grundy can say about you is a losing proposition — even if Mrs Grundy is a trendy New York gossip columnist rather than a curtain-twitching busybody neighbor.
