"So whether one wishes it or not, one has to recourse to utilitarian methods. Which does not change the validity of the principle."

"Even morals is not a suicide pact."
Another word, "For the right price, everyone's a whore?"
"As to the hero worship, examples do not matter, they are simply a way of pandering — could you direct me to a theoretical work?"
Why do you state that examples do not matter?
You think people should not pander to MLK?
"We live in a society subscribing to liberal principles, it does not mean we live in a liberal society."
I would qualify that by exchanging, 'does not mean' with 'does not necessarily mean'.
