14. Wow!
Royalty was exactly what I was thinking when I qualified the "universal" meme!! Did you know that this is also true amongst the royalty of Europe? (I only ask because you only mention biblical times and Hawaii)

But still, there are some things that seem to be widely held as immoral. Though different cultures define these things differently, they do seem to have moral prohibitions against stealing, murder, etc...If it's culture, and cultures are different from one another, why would something be considered immoral across so many cultures, even if they define the immoral act somewhat differently?

And where do you think that "higher consciousness" comes from ?
