Clark is obviously coming to the conclusion that Dad's not always right, and that sometimes, he has to do what HE thinks is right.
But that's exactly what's scaring me -- have you seen 'A Better World'? That Superman is doing what HE thinks is right...
With Jonathan's upbringing, whether Clark's starting to rebel against what he actually tells him to do or not, the foundation is there. The whole 'this is bad, except when you do it' guideline is what makes it so easy for that Superman to topple over the edge from hero to really scary super-overlord. It's all for our own good, so he'll just take care of everything for us... Eeep!
