Is it possible you drew inspiration from another thread, dear sir? Just asking. lol
Anyway...
I have to be careful here and I have trained to be careful. I have always elected the path of least confrontation on a social level. That may make a lesser person seem wishy washy and plastic, but I wrap it in the disguise of apathy or confusion. What I do is what I think is right, what I say is what I think people want to hear or won't frustrate them. Trying to reconcile this ethos is a full-time job but it's kind of fun.
I'm a private person so my opinions and how I act on them are no one's business but my own. When in a discussion that I'm unfamiliar with or that seems to be "controversial", I take the philosophical high road and tinker with heretos and whyfors until the original question is ridiculous and moot. It sometimes ashames the instigator and it keeps my views completely shadowed. This keeps me from being horribly predictable.
Now if I feel I can get away with something, it's always nice to snipe off a few shots that will land where aimed.
As for action, I ALWAYS do what I think is best. That is a horribly vague statement and can entail anything from being philanthropic and heroic to being selfish and careful, which is exactly why I chose the statement. Does this make me the universe's only self-confessed sociopath? I think not.
