I remember in the ‘90s a local newspaper reporter was in a government building and thought it would be hilarious to bring up porn on a government official’s computer. He got fired when he bragged about it.

We try to impress upon our grandchildren the importance of considering all the consequences that will possibly result from their actions. Some people were never taught to be enter into such a thought experiment.

For instance, stealing that cookie just before dinner sounds like a good idea, but think of all the possible outcomes before doing so. Yes, the cookie will taste good now, but what if the result is missing out on one of those just-baked brownies that your mom is about to take from the oven that she has planned for dessert. Now, you don’t get a brownie. Was the cookie worth it? Consider the other possible outcomes from the one you wish before taking questionable actions.

I remember back then it was very common to find quite a bit of porn on government employee’s computers.
