Excellent point. You pretty much have to keep a score card.

I used "petty" in the sense of "ignoble", not in terms of whether the gains were substantial or small. I thought that would be obvious.

No, Andy - not choose your poison - choose your future: You can have the rule of law which demands justice for all, or you can have selective enforcement which protects the elite. One is lifeblood to a free state, the other is poison to the non-elite. That's the choice. The current smear of propaganda seeks to paint those who question "situational ethics" and "moral relativism" as hateful and evil because there really is no viable defense for abject dishonesty. (When you have the facts, pound the facts; when you have the law, pound the law; when you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table!) Again - at the risk of being Schuh-ishly repetitive, lying is not an event - it is a behavioral trait. It sheds light on the moral core of the person and helps to display what really counts, whether the apologists like it or not. Mr. K.
