 I think that stature of secrecy does force one to act unethically. <snip>

 Tesha:
 I believe that the most important element in ethical
 behavior is knowledge that our actions are based on the 
 common good. 

   Do you really believe that "truth" is paramount - always? 
Haven't you ever told your mum that dinner was good, when you really
meant "Thanks for trying, I know you love me."?  Has anyone ever asked
you, "Does this make my butt look big?"? Secrecy and ethics, sometimes
we as adults simply have to choose the lesser of two evils, or hurt
those all around.
