I hear you Bob. I once read a book published in the mid 70's by Robert J. Ringer called "Looking Out for Number 1." He described this very phenomenon and called it "The Line Drawing Game."
Basically, it just means everyone draws the line between right and wrong so that what they do always falls on the *right* side of the line. If they decide to do something that's on the wrong side of the line, they simply move the line so that this activity is now on the right side of the line. Pretty much what you said and I have to agree that it's a pretty accurate assessment of many people.

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
