"If it's legal it's ethical; if it's illegal, it's not ethical." Small catch, slavery was once legal - not ethical. With the likes of Ken 'Enron' Lay, etc. bribing - excuse me, lobbying our lawmakers to look the other way while they loot, pollute and generally abuse the rest of us for their own profit, I'm no more assured of the ethics of some laws these days. Jesus would probably ride a donkey or walk as he did back in the day. More like, "Klaatu barada niktu! Fallwell et al, You're toast. Everybody else, Let's Party!" OK, so it's my religious belief :-)
