Morality is ecological. The Wall Street bankers who played irresponsibly with the mortgage loans possibly represent the first generation of people who have been brought in the cancerous thought-branch of postmodernism saying that morality has been but a political construct and hence has no application in public activities. True, systems of power used (or mis-used) morality for their own ends—but morality is simply the ability to coexist harmoniously within a community and the environment. A sense of civic responsibility is surely an aspect of morality. Maybe we need to revisit classical virtues?
