There seems to be a division of those with an internal sense of conscience and those who see no place for it. Those without a conscience would see no reason for concern unless an actionable crime has been uncovered. If you are not discovered and exposed you have not committed an actionable crime. No actionable crime, no violation what-so-ever. The notion that there could be principles of humanity that we are all accountable to is alien...accountable to who and for what?

It is interesting that these same people take issue with use of language (flaming). Language is rules based. External rule sets void of internal locus of control seem to carry the Mr. Happy crowd.

It is also interesting that so many historical figures have acted totally within the legal framework of a time, only to be charged and condemned for crimes against humanity at a later time.
