I fail to see how sinking to the level of those we so openly criticize is thinking "outside the box". It seems stunningly hypocritical.
If we are going to hold our government responsible for adhering to those principles we have agreed upon, then we cannot also find loopholes to undermine that system we are (apparently) fighting to protect. Yet, there are a few of us who are saying, "Forget it, let's play dirty, too!" I just can't figure out how one reconciles this. Indeed, we now find ourselves in dire traits, but one doesn't fix a leaky canoe by drilling a drain hole. If we don't encourage each other to live by the ethics we're preaching, how do we expect anyone to take us seriously? C.
