Mother Fucking Government Types

We try to legislate morality and ethics, but morality and ethics are dynamic and situational and that leads to the age old problem of the letter versus the spirit of the law and the never ending quest for loopholes in order to circumvent the law. Sometimes the loophole allows one to do what is morally right despite what the law requires and sometimes it allows the opposite.

When people manipulate the laws with a view to what is best for themselves it is usually the death knell of morality and ethics.
