Its going to be interesting to see the GOP lose all moral highground.

I have spent years dating, in monogamous relationships, and in marriage, and I never cheated on a partner. Not once. But I would never claim that I couldn't be tempted to cheat. I don't want to cheat, I couldn't face myself in the mirror if I did that, but I am not so arrogant to think I'm better than everyone else so that could never happen to me. No, I am careful to avoid situations that could lead to cheating, such as having lunches with a woman and no other person present, going out for a drink after work with a female co-worker, etc.

COULD you cheat under the wrong circumstances? DO you rely on your moral character to avoid cheating? Do you avoid situations that could present a temptation to be unfaithful?

(If you believe in polyamory or open relationships, please do not respond to the poll. I am interested in the attitudes of people who at least profess to prefer a committed, monogamous relationship.)

Obviously I am talking about policies with a moral or ethical dimension where reasonable people could disagree on whether the policy could be construed as an ethical or moral concern for that employee along the lines of military personnel refusing an unethical order.

In order for that employee to satisfy their conscience and sleep well at night, which is the greater good or evil: resigning on principle or staying and preventing said policy?

If you have meaningful examples of these gray areas I'd like to hear about them. If you are an absolutist or the policy is black and white for you (like abortion) choose another policy that is gray for you.
