I think Gregh stated that he was The issues was not about eithics IMO at all, but lets start another thread for that topic
Nobody is perfect except you and me and I am not so sure about you! That was a favorite expression of my fathers and seems a little bit appropriate to mention here.I am not perfect,I do try very hard for the most part to do the right thing.I sleep very well at night.
i am currently enrolled in a wildlife law class, that is being taught by one of out local game wardens. i always thought i knew the laws pretty good, but you would actually be amazed at the little things that most people would never think about. For instance, in OK i am supposed to have name/address/phone number on trotlines, juglines, yoyo's etc. well i like to set yoyo's and watch them while im fishing. never leave thm up overnight and i am always within sight of them, but technically that is illegal. another oe that i found unbelievable is that it is illegal to fish in my best friends or my cousins or uncles etc farm pond without a liscense even tough it is privately owned and stocked. the law says if you are not directly related as in grandparents/parents/children/grandchildren then you must have a fishing liscense to fish in a private pond. my point is that no matter how hard we all may try to obey every law, there will always be something that is overloked or forgotten but is technically a law
There is a very distinct difference between legally right and morally right. At the end of the day I know that I am a moral person. I can wake up each morning and look myself in the mirror knowing that I can live with my actions. Yes some of being a person with moral fiber is obeying the law, but it is also being the person that lives within certain boundaries. For example I can live with going onto someones property and retrieves a deer I shot, knowing that the owner might have said "no" if asked.
