With Strings Attached

[Perry Winkle]

Good stuff!

I think it's pretty simple:

Take the woman's money, but don't undertake any contractual obligation to perform the piece. If it's worthy, perform it. If it sucks, blow her off (after the check clears). You don't do anyone favors by subsidizing medicority.

Take the company's money. If you're worried about the moral implications of taking money from a company that engages in questionable business tactics, you can comfort yourself with the fact that the more money Phillip Morris gives to you, the less they can spend on recruiting more smokers. Or you could even use the money for a anti-smoking campaign in those third world countries.

(I love answering ethical questions. I never know how far I believe what I spew.)
