What does Adam's philosophy regarding the dangers of a democracy vs. a republic have to do with matters of conscience in determining whether to take actions that may violate the law? You never answered my original question. I'll ask it again. Does the end justify the means for you? As for why Adam's philosophy has any bearing on this... I don't trust your version of "conscience" any more than you trust mine. Thats why we have laws. We are not run by the short term whims of polls or mobs or "do-gooders" in the CIA who think they have a higher moral authority than our electorate or the "representative" leaders they elect. You lost the last election...get over it. Start working in positive ways to win the next one. THATS HOW IT WORKS ED.
