The ends do not justify the means ... I grew up poor and hungry right on the Appalachia border .. We never would think of stealing to make ends meet .. We worked to make ends meet ..

It is all about right and wrong .. that is what is missing today ..
like corporate executives use to have a duty to make decisions that were in the best interest of their employees and their investors .. today it is decisions that cook the books so they can line their pockets with bonus money ... even if the books are all smoke and mirrors and some investors lose their life savings .. I think they call it Greed .. It is why we are failing as a nation

Another good one was stealing the catalytic converters off of cars. My kid came home to visit, went back to Denver got in her car .. yup someone crawled under her car and cut off the converter. Why .. 300 bucks salvage .. that crime is everywhere today. Because it is easier to steal then to work and if one has no conscience .. then why not ..
