What not to buy for Christmas

This is passed on as an example of how a few kooks (real or otherwise) give anti-NWO types a bad rap...

You're out Christmas shopping and you come across a board game from Hasbro that has been around a few years called, Scruples. It's a game of confronting moral dilemas. Some examples:

The only available spot in the parking lot is reserved for the handicapped. You are in a hurry and won't be very long. Do you park there?

While on a co-worker's computer, you accidentally erase an important file. There's no way to trace it to you. Do you fess up?

While drinking in an out-of-the-way bar, you see a friend's spouse having a romantic tete-a-tete. Do you mention it to your friend?

In a world destitute of moral absolutes this looks like a game that you could have some fun with...if you leave your spouse at home. But, then by chance you run across the designer of the game that may profit from your purchase and you decide to keep your money in your wallet.

A definite bad idea for any Holiday present. (And you thought France had problems.)
