It seems that both this conversation and the Rove thread are in the same territory which is: legal vs. "right" The US simply can't make everything that's "wrong" illegal - the legal code would be massive. So, for example, a car salesman can charge 10% over sticker to new immigrants. It's not "right", but it's legal. In this case, the girl's bad attitude was wrong but legal. IMO, the law owes her no favors and so arrest is right. In the Rove case, what Mr. Rove did was wrong whatever his involvement. It may also be legal, but then the question is should we be holding our gov't officials to a higher standard or just what's legal? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:165763 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
