The choice to steal

People have been making off with all the "nuclear-free" signs from the city of Santa Cruz, and the most likely culprits seem to be college students. (You may have to register to read the story.) Though the idea that students are taking the signs is conjecture at this point, theft of this nature proves one thing. The people who are stealing these signs have talked themselves into the unfortunate notion that fiddling with nuclear material is bad for the public, but a personal choice to take something from the public without permission is simply good clean fun. I think I might be more concerned about their skewed sense of personal responsibility than about local nuclear developments.

Quote Of The Moment
Most men believe that it would benefit them if they could get a little from those who have more. How much more would it benefit them if they would learn a little from those who know more?
