Scenario: There is a village. It's had a famine and food is scarce. There is one farmer on the edge of town with a large, full grainery.
He owns it outright, and came by it legally and ethically.
He decides to burn the grainery down to set a record for largest bonfire.
Remeber, it's fairly and ethically his.
Is his action moral or immoral? Ethical or not? Right or wrong?
How you answer this question says a lot about your character and ethics.
