The Red feet never lie, the green feet never tell the
truth. A green foot need not give any answer, or he may give an answer in
the form of a question such as.. why do you ask?.. or any number of others..
A question may be a method of shielding a lie.
A skilled green foot, may in a trial courtroom
setting ( or congressional hearing or a University policy meeting) can
tell the truth nine different ways without lying.
My purpose in the start of the thread was a quick study
in an ethics theme regarding writing quadradic computing software for ethics.
One of the most profound questions ever posed in recorded history on the subject
was asked of Jesus by Pilate.. " what is truth"?
Was he lying and knew the truth, or was it because he didn't know?
Watching our government conduct business and the war in
Iraq begs the question.. what happens when our soldiers return,, gain maturity
and take leadership roles? We see the results of the hippy generation of the
Vietnam era personified by Clinton. Will a code of ethics be functional for the
emerging body of youth ? Or will they all become like
skilled green feet ? Basic and applied research depends on
addressing questions of this nature... i.e hot vs cold fusion.
