Uh.. No, in my experience the problem arises when people **don't** think 
about what the right thing to do is, they just *know* what it is, then 
distort, twist, mangle, and/or redefine things, until, even if it only 
seems so to them, the "facts" appear to conform to the "truth (tm)" they 
imagined all along.

You get the same thing among the religious. As one article's title 
described it: "God’s Leading = My Desire". In politics, this is, "The 
right thing = What ever I want to work, even if it actually doesn't".

Show me someone that doesn't think, at all, about what is right and 
wrong, and I will show you someone with the same name as me, running as 
fast as I can away from them.
