Throughout life, my ethical proclivities have been formed through a myopic view of black and white, or a right and wrong construct.

Bright lights, cameras, and thousands of people surrounded us, well, maybe not. One spotlight rested on the dirty cafeteria floor with a couple rows of people. Whoops! I meant parents.
