Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sorry, try as I might, I can't say that sending my child to public school is a moral obligation. I think that access to education is a moral issue, but that's another matter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't even remotely see how it can be, especially if you're afforded the ability to better the publich school system without having any immediate skin (so to speak) in the game.

The word "moral" lost all meaning to me a long time ago. What does it mean to you all?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I don't think anyone said it was. I feel it's a moral consideration, however.

AHHHH! a car horn is going off nonstop outside my window - annoying enough - sure, BUT it is 1/4 of a beat off with the music I am playing (Good Thing - FYC). I might have to go commit caricide.

Moral is a distinction between right and wrong. Other axes you score a decision along are possible/impossible, wise/stupid, long-term/short-term. The moral axis claims that there are decisions that can be most beneficial to you, but that you will not make because they're out too far on the right/wrong axis.
For instance, would you sleep with somebody else's husband if you were sure the wife wouldn't find out? That's a decision that is purely a moral decision, not a pragmatic one.

If the goat is emotionally scarred, then something immoral happened.

how does the goat consent, you crazy people.
also I can be emotionally scarred by something I consent to - emotional scarring can just mean that I made a dumbass decision, doesn't mean it was immoral.
- yes, I know we are being silly, but I'm just going with the examples.

What about physical scarring? Or, say, death, and being in my tummy?
