Even though I know this is common, it's pretty alien to me and I can't see how this would play out in your daily life. Are you saying you really think there is no objective right or wrong? What happens when you have jury duty, is that institution wrong in your eyes (see, I can't get away from it), er, how about, is it irrelevant and meaningless? After all, the jury system's whole purpose is to evaluate the circumstances behind an event in light of a fixed standard society is trying to enforce.

Well, on a jury you are making judgment based on Laws not ethics or morals, though when asked by a judge if I can follow the law, I have sometimes responded, "if they are just laws." Of course, I have yet to be seated on a jury so maybe you have something there.
