but part of that was directed at imposing or implying rediculousness on the other side (mine) of the argument to make yours stronger (nonsensical).

That was not my intent. It just seemed to me that you were totally discounting duty and its implications.

If you are an emergency response worker, you understand that, during an earthquake, you stay on the job, not run home to tend to your kids. Presumably, you have made other arrangements for the care of your children if you have any. If you are not prepared to stay on the job, it would be unethical to accept the job. That applies to governors, as well.

To suggest that either of these situation types qualifies as putting family before duty (the opposing argument) is rediculous.

I'm glad you clarified that.

People frequently make choices to seek higher status or increase their lot materially, while allowing family or dependants to be harmed by their neglect. This type of person would not get my support running for governer.

Mine, either.
