  med> ETHICS or an INNATE SENSE OF MORALITY
       is a measure of SANITY
  the INSANE are neither ETHICAL nor IMMORAL
      they are INNOCENT as are CHILDREN because
  THEY LACK REASON thus HAVE NO FREEDOM of CHOICE
  MORALITY IMPLIES RESPONSABILITY  as does SANITY
  ukr RATZIA = REASON   note see> SANITY
  sp  RACION   RATION             MENTAL SANITY
      RAZON    REASON   note INSANITY or CRAZE
  hx> note ARISTOTLE [#] defines VIRTUE as a
      CORRELATION or RATIO between our
  RATIONAL and IRRATIONAL or ANIMAL IMPULSES
  VIRTUE IS THE NORMAL RATIO HARMONIZING BOTH
  note ANIMALS AND GODS HAVE NO ETHICAL VIRTUES
       IF THE FORMER ARE DEVOID OF REASON AND
  THE LATTER OF AFFECTS or ANIMAL IMPULSES
  hx> note ARISTOTLE [#] HOLDS THAT IT IS NOT
           WEALTH OF EXTERNAL BEAUTY BUT IT IS
  THE CONTENTS OF THE INNER CHARACTHER THAT
  DETERMINES THE MORAL CHARACTER AS IT SEEKS
  CONTACT AND BEHAVES TOWARD OTHER BEINGS
  AND DOES NOT SEEK ONE SIDED BENEFITS THUS
  BECOMMING A MEMBER OF A POLIS or SOCIAL BEING
  IN THE ABOVE SENSE ETHICS IS A DOCTRINE OF VIRTUE
