Thomas Jefferson And Moral Laws

"Hey, what if everybody else did that"?  He was asked.  He responded by saying:  "I don't care about everybody else, I'll do what I want to do."  It may sound clear, but it does not make sense.  Although he may not have participated in the above conversation, a long time ago, Thomas Jefferson offered a reasonable response to the above scenario.

"It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million human beings, collected together, are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately."
