Yes, I know that I am not as conservative as most who post here and FR may not be the place for me to interact on the net. But I will not know for sure unless I try. You’re arguing legal and I’m arguing moral, so we’re simply talking past each other on different aspects. The nuns of my youth did not differentiate between lies. It either is one or it isn’t one. Maybe that is too black and white for politics.
You have a nice day, too!
You are secreting a Jewish family in your attic in WWII Holland. The Nazis come to your door and ask if you've seen any Jews in the area. You would feel morally compelled to tell them the truth?
