It reminds me of s...Daniel, thanks for chiming in. It reminds me of something I posted on March 23, 2009 - "The importance of our childrens' education is so important than otherwise moral friends of mine have not only cheated to get their kids into a better school (by providing a false home address) but consider such an act to be not wrong and in fact very right. For who can argue with doing whatever you can to give your kids the best?" Funny how selective our morality is sometimes.LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127870226377459490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015340.post-24077672713595821702009-06-19T07:11:36.913-04:002009-06-19T07:11:36.913-04:00Yeah, this drives me nuts. You hear the same thing...Yeah, this drives me nuts. You hear the same thing about speeding. It's assumed that you never get a ticket unless traveling 10 miles over the speed limit, and even then people almost always complain about it. Just a little while ago I listened as an otherwise law-abiding friend of mine explained to me the elaborate system she uses in deceiving the police to get out of traffic tickets. The idea that this might be in any way wrong never entered the conversation (I didn't say anything either, which I regret).<br /><br />I can't think of any other part of the law where we expect this kind of leniency (except maybe copyright law). We wouldn't say that shoplifting is ok, as long as the item is not that expensive.Daniel Nairnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127732825472374125noreply@blogger.com
