At some point, I need to write up a review of an Ethics class sstormwatch and I took when we were working on or Bachelors' degrees (about the time when we met you) and compare them with the behavior of the Bush Administration, and show how often they violate the Ethical systems they say they support and what they really seem to believe. Not tonight. But sometime.
