As usual you leave out the portion about what is best for the community, or

the state, or even the country

Just because you believe something is gray or a lesser wrong, doesn't mean

that the rest of the community will agree with you and it is the community,

state or even countries welfare that needs to be the primary objective, not

some concept such as my wrong is less wrong then your wrong

Oh, geez. Do you not understand that "right" and "wrong" are not

limited to your moral beliefs? That they also have another meaning of

"correct" and "incorrect"? That because two answers are both wrong, that one

can be closer to the correct answer than the other?

Wow, I guess I overestimated the willingness of people on this list

to think instead of reflexively spew.
