131. Does The End Justify The Means?
I'm not familiar with the clip as I rarely listen to talk radio, except for a local yokel who talks about important local stuff .

As individuals, either we take the high road and believe that there are principals of fairness, etc that we will follow come hell or high water, or we take the view of the other side that the end justifies the means. To some extent that is the point of the original poster. But remember, that once those principals are broken then we can never claim to have taken the high road.
