Oh yea, and via the Wiki entry for Kohlberg's stages:

While Kohlberg insisted that stage six exists, he had difficulty finding participants who consistently used it. It appears that people rarely if ever reach stage six of Kohlberg's model.

The question then becomes what you do with people who fail to become "adults", in the tw model. Most people operate in that "law and order" stage. Their moral development is weaker than tw's. I wonder what the true moral relativist does about these sorts. If they steal your bike, it isn't right or wrong, good or evil; they just do it. Maybe we should walk in the bike thief's shoes for a while, appreciate their perspective. Maybe the bike thief has the right idea.
