This ridiculous! How can an Ethic Professor hem and haw about whether it is right to lie? The whole idea behind ethics is to say of things are right or if they are wrong. I find it hard to believe that relative ethics is so prevalent that even a specialist on ethics is bowing to the pressure and not taking a stand to say that lying is wrong. Our whole civilization is based on honesty, we cannot function without it and when we fail to value speaking truth, we will see it continue to decay all around us.
