On the Morality of Consequence

“There are many things which in themselves are neither morally good nor bad, but they are productive of consequences, which are strongly marked with one or other of these characters.”
-Thomas Paine

“Who would know?”, “What’s the harm?”, “Nobody gets hurt…”

But what if you’re wrong?

I love that quote!! In fact, I think it's going to be the starting point for my next blog post. It will probably be up tomorrow if you care to check it out.
