Ethics Class [Tuesday, November 20, 2012]

"Hello class," Anakin said, coming into the room with donuts and coffee to share with the group. "Hopefully your time with your classmates over the last week has fostered greater understanding about where they are coming from and helped open your horizons a bit. This week, in this dimension and country, we celebrate Thanksgiving, which is a time to take stock of all of the things we have to be grateful for: friends, family, good health, not being bitten by a gremlin in a few weeks, whatever you can think of. It's also a time to visit family and not get into a fight with your wife's grandmother about politics."

That last part sounded very rehearsed.

He put the donuts down where the class could reach them.

"This weekend posed its own kind of ethical dilemma for many of you, if you woke up with powers you weren't used to having, or without some you were accustomed to keeping under control. Someone unused to telepathy might not know how to control listening to other people's thoughts, those who just acquired lightning might not mean to set things on fire, but it still could happen. My question today is: are you still held up to the ethical mores of, say, not moving everything two feet to the left just because you can, if you are new to having the powers?"
