I had a messy year once with stock options and capital gains. I screwed up and the IRS came after me. When it was all done I got back an additional $90, so the hassle had a good ending.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm really sad that the notable alum that I knew the best is Britain's biggest female fraudster. She was continually on my jock.

Sounds like you were a match for her -- what with having a jock.

I don't recognize any of the famous alumni Wikipedia attributes to my HS except for two noteable teacher/coaches (only one of whom was an actual alum).

My HS doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry. I can't think of anyone famous from there.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I will not engage the crazy Christian. I will not engage the crazy Christian.

**Note: Not all Christians are crazy, however this one, particular person is and I shall not engage her.

But morals and ethics are NOT THE SAME.

Right?

They are similar, but not the same.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Both of my high schools have wikipedia pages but neither have notable alumni. Which is odd, since one of them was in Springfield VA and i can't imagine that there are zero noteworthy alums. That school was chock full o government spawn.

Morals and ethics are very different. What you believe is right vs what society says is right. You can have either one without the other.

Fantastic: one of my University alums (Douglas Southall Freeman) was the namesake of my first High Schools. Ah Richmond, keeping it local.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think of it as a personal code vs. a set of rules for behavior in a system.

A journalist can have morals that have nothing to do with journalistic ethics.
