There's a quote from the Vietnam war (I wanna say Phil Caputo?) about morality being a measure of distance and technology. If you kill people up close with a bayonet, it's horrible. If you kill people from afar by ordering an airstrike (or denying people insurance coverage they need), it's more acceptable.

It's a vision of morality where we judge actions by how icky they would make the perpetrator feel by doing them, rather than the harm the actions cause to the victims. The Master's morality, I suppose?
