- that_guy 10y agoCreating a risk to national security is moral? What planet do you live on?
- dagenleg 10y agoLeaking information about governmental abuse and corruption is always a right thing to do.
- angry-hacker 10y agoAs much as about Obama or any other president that has history of abuse. Why single out Trump?
- MrTonyD 10y agoI'm the product of a Jesuit Education - too many readings, papers, and discussions about good, evil, and morality. At some point, a tension between community-values and individual-values can be recognized to exist. Laws reflect those values, and moral laws will reflect community-values and those trade-offs. When laws no longer reflect the real values of a community - they aren't the moral laws of the community any longer - and then the moral choice is to disobey the law. My impression is that US society hasn't reflected the trade-offs desired by our community for a long time. There was the Princeton study recently confirming that Congressional votes almost exclusively reflect the values of the wealthy 1%, while only coincidentally reflecting the rest of society on occasion.
