But its not principle alone that we use to make decisions in our day-to-day lives. Often our principles are forced to compromise with what’s practical. Occasionally, though rarely, reality gives us such a mugging as to force us to abandon principle all together. While I don’t believe that to be the case now. I do believe some sort of compromise is in order. After all, Principles and law are ultimately there as tools to help protect people and property. When standing on principle without question and/or blindly following the law results in the destruction of both people and property. It’s neither principled nor legal. It’s a suicide pact.<BR/><BR/>MSBrother Waxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874616219240875479noreply@blogger.com
