It is a worse act to blow up 10 people, than it is to murder one, certainly- (is that your "point?" Heavy!), but can we all not agree that both acts are simply 100% wrong? It strikes me you are about to lose an argument to PPNYC here Flower.

Based on you reasoned suggestion, I was more than happy to eliminate the "greys" from my world, and simply lump behavior into two categories: wrong and not wrong. But then, as I re-read your post, the very first concept you introduce is that there are differering levels of wrong -- one act is described as being "worse" than another, and this we know with certainty. This is exactly the type of post that is going to cause Newbers to become confused and/or angry at the logical inconsistencies. I hate to say it, but at least this morning, I am going to have recommend that the Newbers pay more attention to ppnyc's posts than your posts.
