Feb 28, 2008 -- Clark poses a moral dilemma to his listeners

Here's a question of morals and ethics for you: What would you do if your ATM kept giving you unlimited cash without deducting your account? That's the question posed this week in Clark's poll. A young man in China named Xu Ting faced this very same dilemma. His response was to make withdrawals at 171 ATMs and pocket $24K in cash. He received a life prison sentence for his crime after being stopped by police for a routine ID check. This story, reported in The Los Angeles Times, really highlights China's unjust judicial system more than anything else. After uproar among the people of China, Ting is being given a second show trial and will be re-sentenced. Corrupt Chinese officials, meanwhile, make out like bandits. While our country isn't perfect, we do have a tradition of sending our big wigs to jail when they mess up. Just think of Worldcom's Bernie Ebbers, some of the Enron people or Leona Helmsley. But how about you -- what would you do if faced with Ting's ethical dilemma? Remember, you can be honest because online polls are anonymous!
