I think you misunderstand the job of a lawyer. It's not about morality,
but justice. Bad people have rights too. As they say, it's dirty job
but somebody has to do it. What kafou is trying to tell you, or at
least I was myself, is don't shoot the messenger. The Robinson's mean
well, even though I personally completely disagree with their base
philosophy. Is there anything specific that she wrote that is morally
wrong, in your opinion? And I want to clarify, I didn't ask if you
agreed...I asked if there was anything morally incorrect?
of the job of an honest God fearing person who lives his life according to
the golden rule, which says: do unto others, as you want done unto you. If a
very close relative of yours was assassinated by someone whose guilt is
beyond any reasonable doubt, but was set free by the work of a slick
attorney who was able to get him out on legal technicality, would you still
feel this way?
I do not speak in a legalistic sense. As human beings, we are free to
decide whether we live our lives according to the laws of man, or the law of
God. They both have their inherent advantages, and disadvantages. That is
why I said to Kafou, that he and I have a different definition of good, and
bad.
