Those aren't moral standards...
That's being a beggar who also wants to be a
chooser.
Well, sometimes being a "chooser" involves moral and immoral behavior. Perhaps one thinks low wages are immoral for the work being done, for example. Morality is applicable to virtually any choices we make, though circumstances may severely restrict our ability, or even our capacity to choose the right thing. A lot of people don't like feeling guilty, so they view themselves as "doers" and not "choosers." They'll go with teh flow and say "it's a job." In fact, that's basically the state of being I'm in lately.
