Is that what you teach your children?
The problem is that you are incorrectly trying to define my threshold and failing badly. You are misstating my position on things which I have never explicitly said.

As for a found wallet, if it belonged to Donald Trump, I'd take the money out and then send the wallet back to him anonymously with the rest of the contents intact.
