"Not so easy to say what’s ethical these days, as it seems to depends
on one’s standards. Either way, if you’re one of those ethical people,
the Hawaii State Ethics Commission wants to hear from you.
The Judicial Council is seeking applicants to fill one upcoming

Some of our brightest minds have tackled the significance of ethics. Here is what a few of them had to say:
w “History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict,
victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known
to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force
to compel them.” — B. R. Ambedkar
w “The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.” — Albert Schweitzer
w “Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all
evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still
savages.” — Thomas A. Edison
w “Ethics are more important than laws.” — Wynton Marsalis"
