For me ethics is best understood when you stand it on its head. The less important the rule is, the more important it is to follow it. The more important the rule is, the more important it is to know when to break it. That's the hardest part about ethics. Walking off with ten cents extra change is so simple. So it takes focus and determination not to do it. Knowing when to break a major law takes extraordinary courage and wisdom. Those who operated the Underground Railroad. Those who hid Jews from Nazis. Those who sat in the white sections of buses and restaurants. Those who occupied Tienamin Square. Trouble-makers, rabble rousers, insurrectionists, traitors. Be one.
