Amazing how you can apply your own idea of morality in Harley's case, but fail to apply it to other conceivable situations/professions.
Read closer my sad little friend, I have never impugn Harley's moral character in anyway. Asking him questions on how he approaches life and the moral conflicts we all have to face is quite different from making a judgement on him as a person.
I ask these question to get a better perspective and often I find that sometimes a person hasn't really given that much thought to various moral dilemmas one encounters in life.
As I have made clear in all my years on this board, I am grounded by my religion. I believe that I am going to have to answer for my deeds both good and bad. So when making moral decisions I always go back to how it will stand during my day of judgement. How much will winning a certain case and making a lot of money count on my day of reckoning?
So much of what we think are so important in life: money, status, fame, popularity, looks... I believe will count for very little when my soul is put to the test.
But that's just me and I know this board is primarily secular if not anti-religious. But to me, this moral confusion that you show, and some others do on this board, is a direct result of the secularization of modern Western culture.
Again, I said "some". There are many like Being There and SF that has thought these things through and wrestled with these issues as they have gone through life and figured it out for themselves. Not everyone has that nature introspection and self-examination. I believe you are definitely a thinking person but just, shall we say, a work in progress.
The one thing that I hope you take away from this, once you get over your hubris and arrogance, is that you are responsible for your actions. It's doesn't matter if it's your job, or you are following orders, or it's the law, or it's because everybody else it doing it. You are responsible. And what you do -- not what you think or feel -- is what defines you and makes you -- YOU!.
