Most people only truly feel moral wrongness at the thought of the more extreme for depravities such as incest, murder or rape.  It's easy to say you think tax evasion is harmful to the society, but noth that many people genuinely care.  Even D&D recognize that most people are neutral/unaligned and therefore hardly ever violate their alignment since there is so little of it to violate.Never said that.  Said that one particular actions isn't indicative of a good alignment D&D terms.  Never said once that no action is.  Take the mafia hitmen who protects his family.  If his employers turn on him and he tries to save his family, does it make him good?  No, it's just a biologic imperative.  If he reaches out to the family of a man he killed, tries to earn their forgiveness and to protect them from his employer who wants to youngest child to die because he is a witness in the upcoming tria,.is he good?  Well, getting there.  Because this attempt at redemption indicate an alignment shifting.  Saving your family doesn't.  It's expected.Concerning the Sons of Liberty thing...  I have no clue who they are and no interest in finding out which is why I didn't comment.</blockquote>
