I must be boring, yet lots of people seem to promote a point of view which i would call "fuzzy ethics" or "fuzzy morality".
As I have already mentioned "What is the 
difference between good and evil? When one takes my cows it is evil. 
When I take cows from someone - it is good."
I give Dumbledore as a sample, but Harry's revange is much better...
