Actually, I find it to be some freaky mix (about 60/40 towards morality, along with some other things) that I label as doing what is 'right'.

Option 2 of course. Though I suspect we might have problems when coming to defining morality.

I voted 'doing what is moral', but to me that means 'doing what you like', as there is no such thing as objective morality.

Oh I see, so killing somebody is not morally wrong, as long as you want to do it?

I think it's easier to do what's legal - since personal interpretation doesn't come into it.

I think doing the "moral" thing is far harder, but you have to live with yourself so, while I believe in the importance of doing what's legal - you need to keep your personal moral code close by.
