Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age

You could just send them to me Dan......I won't tell anyone...honest.

Frank,

Now that you've had your rant on ethics, I'm more convinced then ever that our government is TOTALLY unethical.

So my question is: How should ethicality (is that even a word?) be the responsibilty of the man in the street when our government and big business TOTALLY ignore ethics according to your standards?

Please, don't get religious on me and tell me the meek will inherit the earth......

FWIW, I do agree with your ethic policies, but it is very tough to comply when seeing all of those who are better off than me ignoring the ethics. Is ethics only for the poor?

Cheers,
John

While I am an imperfect person and a realist, at the risk of sounding like I am oversimplfying the answer to your question, I actually DO think that if I just do the next right thing, the rest will take care of itself.

Frank,

While I do admire you ideology, I do also feel, from what I've seen on my 48 years on this spinning ball, that you are far from a realist.....sorry. The wealthy, big business and our own government have acted unethically for my whole existance, IMHO. I have worked for a large pharmaceutical firm for over 27 years and have watched as the upper executives get free daycare, free products, cars and whatever else, while those on the lower rungs are asked to pay for everything.

One question: If stealing is legal, is it still ethical?

Cheers,

Frank, thanks for your well written reply. Overall, I tend to agree with you. It's a shame more folks don't think that way about ethics, it would make the world a better place to live.

Cheers,
John
