Morality Versus (?) Obedience

"Morality is doing what is right regardless of what you are told; obedience is doing what you are told regardless of what is right."
LOL. Morality is obedience to a moral code (duh!), purportedly transcendent, that someone--your mom and dad, church, community, peers, Ayn Rand, Con Duper, or the inner recesses of your festeringly corrupt soul--told you is right. Talk about begging the question.

Those who adopt a moral code at odds with your own will accuse you of having been "indoctrinated." Meaning, of course, that they have an inside (!) line on common (!!) sense (!!!).
