>>> It would appear to me that you are suggesting that "ethics" are flexible. Hey, that works for me. That's what I'll teach my kids. "Well, yes son, the sign says do not remove artifacts. But, they mean other people. Not us, we are the good guys." I mean after all, if I teach them to obey the rules then the people who don't obey the rules will walk all over them. Amen, Rev Bob.>> I think this a cheap shot. Ethics and the federal regulations do not have to be, nor are they supposed to be, the same. Quite often we find our personal belief system is not in sync with regulations or legislation. How many of us exceed the posted speed limit? I will bet a lot of us see a limit as being set for the "average" conditions, eg., midday, and at midnight we have no qualms about putting the pedal to the metal. It is not any less illegal, but we are not as likely to be endangering life as if we went the posted limit at peak hours or in inclement weather. If everyone had common sense good ethics there would be a lot fewer laws. Keep on strokin' Bob.
