From: "Glen Harewood Subject: Are the Harper CONS hung-up on the idea of "utility?" They alone know what is good (or right) for Canadians?
Are the "Cons" hung-up on their idea of utility?
Do they alone know what is right and/or good for Canadian voters?
I the Fair Elections Act fair for all Canadians?
Is building more jails and legislating punishment good for Canadians?
Is the CONS' claim to "saving" taxpayers money valid, good, right
when they spend millions of dollars contesting court decisions
with which they do not agree? Or falsely spending millions of
dollars of taxpayers' money on their advertising their own
slanted/twisted ideas?
And to whom does it bring "happiness."
Have the CONS' polities over the past nine years been more
productive of pleasure and happiness, or more preventative of
pain and unhappiness for Canadians, OR vice
Are Canadians more happy or less happy than they were
nine years ago when Harper won a majority of seats with
less than 40% of the popular vote?

______________________________________________
Depends who you're talking to.
Jeremy Bentham and Utilitarianism (1748 1832) Is �right� equal to �good?�
"A moral theory according to which an action is right if and only if it conforms to the principle of utility.Bentham formulated the principle of utility as part of such a theory in �Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation� in 1789.
An action conforms to the principle of utility if and only if its performance will be more productive of pleasure or happiness, or more preventive of pain or unhappiness, than any alternative.
Instead of 'pleasure' and 'happiness' the word 'welfare' is also apt: the value of the consequences of an action is determined solely by the welfare of individuals.
A characteristic feature of Bentham's theory is the idea that the rightness of an action entirely depends on the value of its consequences. This is why the theory is also described as consequentialist. Bentham's theory differs from certain other varieties of utilitarianism (or consequentialism) by its distinctive assumption that the standard of value is pleasure and the absence of pain; by being an act-utilitarian; and by its maximising assumption that an action is not right unless it tends towards the optimal outcome.
The view that utilitarianism is unable to accommodate any values except the crass, gross or materialistic ones is mistaken.
Since the 1960s, many writers have used consequentialism instead of utilitarianism for the view that the rightness of an action entirely depends on the value of its consequences. Many writers now restrict the word utilitarianism to denote certain kinds of consequentialism, especially Bentham's and Mill's. Currently there is terminological diversity, and the varieties of utilitarianism mentioned elsewhere are varieties of consequentialism."
