An while talking about the weekly Tuesday IRC chat at 21:00CST, here are a couple of links:
Wikipedia: goodness
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/goodness
Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics
http://www.constitution.org/ari/ethic_00.htm
And of course, we can also talk about random stuff such as chivalry, altruism, self-sacrifice, justificational and evolutionaly advantages and disadvantages, even movies where the good guys kick the bad guys' ass.
