P.J. O'Rourke on Rights and Responsibilities
"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences."
What do you think? Is that all there is to ethics? Is P.J.'s maxim as true in business as it is in life? Or does business ethics have special needs, especially where issues of compliance and HR come into play?
