Moral Obligations

[JustAnotherGen]

6. I don't smoke - sorry can't help there!

But I know American Spirits out at the PA reservations were pretty cheap a few years ago - like may $2 or 3$ a pack????

I can't give away my business plan - but it involves -

University on the Canadian Border
Cross border.
Buck was worth $1.30 canadian.
Marlboros were selling for $10/$12 Canadian.
Access to Indian Reservation.
Buy cigs.
Enlist friends with purses.
Give them a cut in the bars in Niagara Falls Canada.
Oh -and a pack or two for the Canadian border officials.

Yeah - this was that FINAL time when my dad figured out what I was up to that he said - "At this point - MAYBE you can tunnel back to the right path. If you try really hard. And you are gonna pay the taxes on this!"


Re Morals - people in relationships lie. What if a man tells a woman he's just a simple accountant -but on the side he deals heroin. He's never been caught - has no arrest record. At what point is it a woman's responsibility to find out how the guy wipes his ass? We can't know everything.


I met my husband at 36 - so I was single for a looooooooong time.

I wasn't responsible/had no moral responsibility to know if a man was married or not.

I'm certain that I've been on first dates with married men - that I figured it out by the second date. It's not hard. But what if a man traffics in human beings? It's not as easy to figure out as it is to figure out if he is married. What if he is a child pornographer?

I would think by the time a woman has gotten to the point of marrying someone - she would know the deal. I can't judge her for her choices - or reasons for marrying -

Any more than I could judge a woman for staying - once she figures it out. Or let's say in the case of an abused woman - not my place to judge her for staying.
