> [@lisiate](#): > > I agree to this. You could do a lot worse than using Pratchett’s rational humanism as a basis for your ethical code. _Small Gods_ in particular is excellent for this. I always like Granny Weatherwax’s code: We don’t do Nice. We do Right. ---

I’ve also seen an animated Soul Music. The weakest of the lot IMO. It is available on Netflix, at least that’s where I got it. [Here’s a link.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soul_Music_%28TV_series%29) Was a TV series, but they pretty much stitched it together for the DVD. ---
