    In the context of the current judicial system we have, I'd say a) no, b) no, c)no.

    I just don't understand how you can consider those activities to be OK (representation of rich child molesters, unions and terrorists) -- not to taint the lawyer -- but consider representation of a rich corporation like Chiquita to be morally suspect.

    And I didn't call you an idiot. I said that people who argue that doctors should make moral judgments about patients before deciding whether to extend medical treatment are idiots, though - in light of the disagreement we're having - I probably came closer to calling you an "idiot" than I should have.
