I'm not.  It isn't physical, it isn't intellectual, it has
an incremental cost of zero, and it's easy for someone to
say they *don't* want me to use it.  I guess I could say "we
can choose a belief in an ambiguous case that allows us to
feel moral superiority over others."  But that might be
a cheap shot....
