According to Mill, Utilitarianism was a "standard of morality" which uses the happiness of the greatest number of people as its ultimate goal. Is this some thing you can agree with? Would this sort of philosophy improve society?

There was a request to have more classic and ethics based debates, I think by Bradf0rd. John Stuart Mills was one of my favorite philosophers which I studied as an undergraduate at the University of Illinois. The Wiki articles on him are wonderful and I suggest them as quick reads for those not familiar with his ideas and yet still want to participate in this discussion.
