So true. Some of the talking points in this debate remind me of the "Occupy" protestors' entitlement mentality.

That's not an injustice. That's pretty much a universal situation for everyone else in any other occupation.

Ethically it's in the same category as slipping the building inspector a few bucks to fast lane your paperwork or paying a judge on the side to use his office to your benefit.
