[HARDCORE]

ETHICS - ?The philosophy or system of morals, the study of human conduct, with emphasis on the determination of right and wrong!?

?Boy are we in trouble!!?

According to what I just read out of the Associated Press, "Mandatory Lectures on Ethics at the White House (and maybe throughout the entire government)" have become the order of the day! That makes it quite obvious, at least to me that: ?If you have to teach it, it wasn?t there to begin with!?

All 3000 employees of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue are finally being taught the difference between right and wrong (amazing)! And as such, I ask you - ?Is the President saying that before this time, these highly placed, government officials had no idea what ethics were all about??

Now just think about this for a moment -

We are talking about people here with the lives and well being of over 300,000,000 Americans in their hands, the safety of our entire military and economy at stake, and maybe even the ongoing existence of mankind in question! And for the most part, these are individuals with advanced degrees, as well as experience and responsibilities that are beyond the understanding of most of us common folks!

To complicate matters even more, it is these people who insist on telling us all how to live our lives and conduct our affairs! And yet, these are the demigods that have to be taught the true meaning of ethics and integrity?

Again - ?WE ARE INDEED IN DEEP TROUBLE!?

I suppose that we should be thankful for one thing however, ?No one has to teach these same people the meaning of arrogance, self-gratification, corruption or abuse of power, as far too many of them already have it down to an art!"
