We did some shtick years ago about a nice old man, Noshaim Stickel, who would organize mushroom-gathering field trips. Very popular. Lots of people went around picking up loose morels with Noshaim.
I'm with you on that one, but when I've brought it up in the past, I've found that only a minority seem to agree with me on the distinction between 'moral' and 'ethical'.
you see a blind man walking towards the edge of a cliff - the is no law that says you must intervene, so letting him walkoff the edge might be LEGAL but not MORAL.
Ahhh, blind man. MIGHT not know that he is endangering his life. Got it.
Shoot him. That way his death is on my hands. He didnt commit suicide and thusly still gets a shot at a spot in heaven. Ha, thought you'd trip me up with your little test!
