unnoticed political fact

[Kevin Robert Dean]

I don't know if this point was brought up before, but these questions remind
me of the so called "Ethical Stocks", "Ethical Investments", ect...There is
no doubt in my mind that these sorts of questions are silly in that just
about anything can be used by an "unethical business"---Can a motor company,
for example be considered "unethical" if its motor parts were used by
Phillip Morris for example, to make cigarettes?  Where do you draw the line?

If a fruit is moldy, you would probably be better to throw the whole fruit
out rather than try to eat around the fungus because chances are that mold
has sent its poision thoughout the flesh already.  You can't reform the
moldy peach.
