I recall that "situational ethics" was what I used 50 years ago to
rattle the chains of the squares and the establishment. I have not
seen it put to any other usage by anyone else since that time.

As far as "respect" goes it is always earned and never bestowed
lightly. If someone respects what I have to say that is fine if they
don't that is fine as well. In either case it has no effect either
way on me unless I permit it.

You might check out the series of books by Carlos Castanadas
specifically with a warrior being impeccable. You might also find the
book "The Four Agreements" of value.

Situational Ethics means to me that the individual involved cannot be
counted on for anything as they fail to take a stand that engraved in
stone about anything.

It appears that our communication difficulties has to do with
impeccability.
