[lbo-talk] Re: what's permissible

[Gar Lipow]

Is the whole question "do the ends justify the means" on too high a 
level of abstaction? I tend to be suspicious of anyone who thinks the 
question, so phrased, is answerable.  Don't you have to specify what end 
and what means, or at least particular classes of ends and means before 
the discussion becomes meaningful? Or is that too simplistic?
