Ends and Means, how do they fit?

Well Hodgie apparently you died. And in you infinite wisdom you had recommended a show called the Wire. And following the word of the great late Hodgie I watched it. It was pretty damn good, especially with how bad television is now days I was pleasantly surprised. Even more happy was I when the end of the show brought about some questions for me to ponder. So will pass one on to you all.

It has to do with Ends and Means and how you justify meeting one to the other. I guess the core of it comes down to is doing something bad ok if the end result is good. Or can you accept doing something wrong for something good. I mean yes we do it a lot on a larger scale, government, vaccinations, wars etc. and we talk about while all these things are and can be ugly the end result is good so therefore the means are good.

I want to disagree with this. I know not many people believe in a black and white world but I do. But bad is bad regardless of how you put a spin on it. And I think people make a whole lot of fuss and in process create all the grey to make them feel better. They say that there is no black and white and therefore things can be justified in there minds. I don't know if I can swallow that. Maybe some evils just have to be accepted, and I guess I'm going to have to live with that, but that sure as hell doesn't mean I'm not going to bitch about it, and thus thank you blog.

P.s. I today got my final government exam scores back and I have officially finished all my requirements for my M.D.. And sent in my applications to be licensed to practice medicine. So I figured I'd toot my horn here.

Cheers
