Just because it's legal doesn't mean you have to do it, or want to do it, or should do it. There's a lot of things that are legal that you don't want to be doing. I'm not there to be their mother or father or priest or minister. It's not my job to do that. Your advice ought to be the same no matter who asks you the question.
Human nature being what it is, that's hard to do sometimes.
I get tired of being used, when someone takes something I've said out of context and uses it for their own measures, but that's all part of the job, I guess. I write ordinances for aldermen. I don't have to agree with the alderman's position in order to write up their ordinances. I do that every day. Our problems have names.
