James Drogan

I have blogged as well as posted articles of more substance on the importance of ethics and how it is a foundation stone upon which rests all else of what we do.

I refer you to "Climate Scientist Steps Down" in the December 2, 2009 edition of The Wall Street Journal for yet another example of the importance of ethical behavior.  I hold that without a strong ethical base not much else matters.

I also draw your attention to Drogan's Third Law: Never put things in an e-mail you would not like to hear read in court.  This is not a summons to hide evil, but rather to suggest that what you think may be innocuous (although the example given in the Journal article does not seem to fall into this class) can almost always be interpreted by others in ways that may not reflect yuour meaning.
