It's amazing isn't it? Principles, ethics.. all talk for a lot of people, situations like these show it. Watch them spin it as a good thing for humanity as a whole. Amazing.
I am reading this comment and I can't help but to chuckle. The reason I am saying is that can be read in several different ways and so does parent's post. We can just barely communicate with one another clearly so our proxy becomes 'who are you talking about exactly'.
We need better communication tools -- language seems to be failing us.
