....do you seek the guidance of certain principles or do you choose the best results? As for me, I would merely flip a coin instead. Chance is the only true justice.
It should be noted that the question itself commits the classic either-or fallacy in its assumption that there are only two possible responses to such moral dilemmas. Merely raising the possibility of a third response should indirectly demonstrate this - but then again, the writer is damned if he presumes too much from his readers, and he is also damned if he underestimates them.
