I am ovbiously, and have always been, a "consequentialist," even though I never realized it. Much to the chagrin of my wife, who is obviously the other kind (can't remember what you've called it) I have often asked the following series of questions: "1) Why would you ever go to a shoe store unless you needed a new pair of shoes?
