no one, from what I read, is condemning Paul the Person - what is being debated is the premise that it is right to get support for your movement (RALEEF,SPCA,ETC ETC) from wherever you can if you are passionate enough about it - I am currently taking an ethics course..so, I think this concept is part of Utilitarianism.. "the common good" and "the benefit resulted to the greatest number".. Is it right to utilize any means to achieve a goal? - if it is, then mandatory sterilization of the mentally challenged was "right" (the only example I can think of at the time), or accepting dirty money, earned on from puppy mills, to rid the country of breed specific legislation is as well. It still seems to be a contradiction to me.. And having Mr. H supporting RALEEF comes across, to me, as a way for him to ensure he can continue to buy and sell the specific breeds out of the back of his truck.. It's just dirty dirty dirty business to me.. JMHO..
