>>>I have had a friend since childhood who is a good person. He belongs to no church and has the moral belief that the individual should be allowed to do whatever he/she wishes as long as they do not get caught! If you get caught then you should pay a penalty.
>>Thomas, do you believe that he is a good person?
>Sam;
>I know that he is. If you needed help at 2 AM he would be there! He is a very kind and loving person, who is always helping others. By the way he is Chinese American, and I am considered to be part of his family by his mother, father, brother and sisters.
Ok, I'll take your word for it... obviously you know him and his family.
But a person who lives by a philosophy of "as long as you don't get caught....", kinda a difficult to trust a person like that. I'm very uncomfortable if a person is TOO kind to me.
I don't know, maybe he's a exception not the rule. :)
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
