Depends on what were talking about. I really don't care about the moral leanings of my plumber, I just want my pipes fixed. On the other hand I wouldn't like to see my pastor downtown in a corner pushing a prostitute around.
You don't? So your plumber jerks you around, overcharges you badly and then leaves having done a lousy job because of his lousy moral character. He won't repair,replace or repay you. You just got shafted because you didn't care enough to check up on his character/reputation/other peoples' experiences.Would you like to answer this again bearing in mind what I just told you? Moral character counts in every situation. Whether it affects you directly or not. I am surprised that you would not realize that Lago. I guess your world and mine are quite different. There is an internet site called homeadvisor.com to which I go and read up on all the local repair folks in the area to see what others have experienced. The ones I called have never disappointed me or stiffed me or caused me to regret my choice. I have no idea how you choose but clearly it is not how I choose. Thank you for your reply.
