Yeah. If I Monday morning quarterback my post, I might choose to to make it "the" goal and remove the world legally. It truly is the goal from which all other goals are spawned. Far too often we only have regard for the law
after we get caught.
I don't know why but a Seinfeld episode comes to mind:
Mr. Lippman: It's come to my attention that you and the cleaning woman have engaged in sexual intercourse on the desk in your office. Is that correct?
George Costanza: Who said that?
Mr. Lippman: She did.
George Costanza: [pause] Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time.
Mr. Lippman: You're fired!
George Costanza: Well, you didn't have to say it like that.
