Why do we need morals?

[Darkstar]

Okay, I think I understand. My point was more along the lines that if all morals rules were wiped clean, people would be able to rationally conclude that stealing was wrong a second time (unless they were communists), whereas they would be hard pressed to conclude disorganized socks were immoral a second time, because there is no real reason to think that. If no one thought there was anything wrong with theft, then yes, there would be lots of theft.
