<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Raffi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>These are really very critical questions and
decisions. I have taken a course on ethics and we are discussing many things
more and more from ethical point of </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>view </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>in my
country.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have taken a course on ethics but more than the
course what shows the way is our own "conscience" and we must be conscious
of our decisions</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(which means for me; we must know why we make
this decision)</FONT> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Coming to your question; I can be
in contact with any organization (no matter what they do) if I believe
(sense) that there can be a chance</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of transformation through OS (or another
method). </FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Personally I don't judge quickly, but I like
being "very attentive about the consequences" and "very conscious about the
reasons" of my decisions. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I loose time, I am late but I feel better in this
way.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Funda </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Cyr" size=2>I did a cursory search of the OS list
archives, and the impression I have is the ethics question has only been
somewhat "plumbed".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Cyr" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Cyr" size=2>Phil, you ask what are some ways OST can be
destructive?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Examples:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>-Building more McDonald's restaurants- how we can sustain
expansion of this chain?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>-Conducting OS with any corporation which has had a history
of discrimination, crowding out small business, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>-Would you agree to conduct (if you were in the US) an OS to
explore how to mobilize volunteers to help elect Bush? Or any candidate with
whom you don't agree?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have never taken a course in ethics or anything along
those lines. Maybe there are folks on-list who might have a framework the
guides them on the ethics issue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Maybe the examples I have listed as "destructive" are not
necessarily destructive?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Still ponderously,</FONT></DIV>
