I kinda get where Sam Harris is coming from, but its kind of silly to call what he is talking about morality. As far as I can tell, Harris is just a moral skeptic who believes something like "we should get a bunch of people together to decide kind of what we want in the world and then rationally pursue those ends." But that is very different from morality as it was traditionally understood (eg, facts about behaviors which are objective in their assignment of good and bad).
