"People now have a tendency...to feel that they are virtuous on the basis of what they believe rather than on the basis of what they do. They think that if they are outraged and if they think that the government ought to 'do something' about whatever outrages them, that they are one of the good people and that meanwhile others - perhaps greedy corporations or rich people - are the bad people. This is not really a system of morality. It is vanity, laziness and self-delusion."

Excerpt from an interview I gave to James Hamilton for his blog.
