And on a personal note: I dislike Utilitarianism because the concept of it tends to make me feel as though people are just numbers being crunched in a machine. It also tends to assume a extreme means justifies the ends doctrine towards some ultimate goal/vision that many may not agree with. Examples include CIA activity in Latin America, Mexican-American War, Trail of Tears, etc etc etc. It doesn't work when we can all disagree on what an ideal end is, or simply have limited foresight.
