Day of Ponderment & Wonder

When mixing beer with philosophers, you're gonna end up with something. I wonder what makes something ethical.

A few things excused: society says, the people say. I suspect there must be a reason something is right or wrong. So far I haven't had religion as the answer, and frankly, I'm disappointed in this lack of non-secular reasoning. I was hoping for a good discussion.

Anyone have an idea why things are right or wrong?
