Thanks a lot for this post. I have found it a superb piece and well worth meditating about, even if I have to say that I am probably biased because, a priori, I am not too inclined towards Utilitarianism in the first place. But I think the point you make is complex and not necessarily against consequentialism as such, and would probably go some way to accommodate the views of those who find a lot of it too alien and unpalatable.
