An Ethics Thought

Whenever I receive emails of the newsletter/weekly variety, I am annoyed. Not necessarily that I decided to receive these emails during some dip in my judgment, but because they are of pretty much no interest to me. One is a weekly email about business ethics entitled "An Ethics Thought."

I saw the man who writes it at an FBLA conference one year because a few of my former associates (read: we attended the same adolescent holding camp) and I attended his session on business ethics that was supposed to be for teachers. The teachers there were absolutely atrocious, they were all scared to participate and their questions regarding ethics were numbingly stupid at times. One inquired about Muslim ethics, because she was raised with Christian values and could not reconcile the prize of virgins for martyrs with business ethics. I felt so bad for the guy I signed up for his weekly ethics email, and I'm proud to say that he is still going strong three or four years later.

Anyway, I never read his ethics thoughts, but every time I get the email I wonder to myself what he might be doing, how he feels about the pursuits he has chosen, and whether or not he has ever prevented anything unethical from happening.

I guess he does sometimes, because the three tenths of a second it takes me to read the subject of his ethics thought are as often as not time I would usually spend perusing pornography.
