Unfortunately Carey, moral illiteracy seems to be rampant these days, as evidenced by the inability of some participants on this very forum to make the distinction between social instincts and morality. Hence the necessity of fines to impose morality.

Of course a morality imposed by fines is dreadfully inefficient and doomed to ultimately fail. Fortunately, technology will save us—electric conditioning collars will soon be used to condition those at the lower end of the morality bell curve—then they too will begin to comprehend “moral responsibility.” Oh happy day.
