mmm, I should read all replies before replying to replies to prevent repitition!
not that I can speak objectively (which is precisely why we simply can't interrogate the way in which the fifty million discourses running through our brains operate to construct and maintain identity hierarchies through the reification of natural or pre-inscriptive and embodied practices), but the idea that right and wrong are entirely social constructs for solidarity is just yuckie! I do think context probably has more effect than universality, but I also would like to believe that conscience would exist any way, despite the suspicious convenience of "right" and "wrong."
(if you were the bald guy on the bus 4 years ago, I stole your cigarettes. I apologise.)
