no, people do follow rules for more than just that reason. they follow them because: they were taught to, they don't want to do harm to others, and they have a conscious ect. however, there are no consequences for their actions above human and health consequences. if they don't get caught, and they don't compromise their health, they don't have any consequence.

too general. and it sounds like what the bad guys did in the movie "In Time" was justifiable with this definition. good movie btw if you didn't watch it.

well what moral code do you have above humanism? what purpose do you have above society?
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
