“Is it ‘amoral?’ It’s designed for a constructive purpose. That in itself is a moral purpose.”
Oh, and I forgot to add, you argue that the hammer itself is moral because it was designed with a constructive purpose. Seems to me the morality would adhere to the desing, not the object, and thus the designer, i.e. the human. It has a moral purpose because someone told it to.

Here's an interesting question then to gun owners --- what was the INTENT of the designer for designing the Gun ? To defend one-self ? or for the owner to kill and maim ?

ok, forget the hammer if it bothers you. a market is a social entity, anyways, and therefore is “alive.” its very existence is a moral proposition.
