Amoral "means"

The transport service picks up my friend 2 kms from her house. To work in the morning. Back home in the evening. Again 2kms walk to home with the office bag, computer and all.

And she is expecting now !

She wanted to change the route to a closer place to her house, where there is already a route and cab running to. And there is space to accommodate ! But, the answer was NO.

The answer was NO until she said, she is "expecting", that to ! Of course after that the transport route for her was changed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now take this story and slice and dice it -

1. There was a "route" already through her area

2. Accommodating in that route was not a challenge for the transport dept

3. 4 Kms walk everyday with Laptop and gym bag can be inconvenient even for people "not expecting"

4. She had to use her condition to get the route changed !

5. She felt miserable for using that "condition" ...

Sometimes one needs to use amoral means for a moral end.

It appears (according to Yahoo maps) that the place is just 1.2 KM. I kepy saying almost 2. Does 1.2 count as almost 2?? :P
