you pick a side, when you don't pick a side

one the one side;

Everitt, Maes, Modral;
and the continued covert, often illegal, always unethical evasion of honest accountability to a meaningful standard of conduct.

on the other side

those who believe that public servants within their public service ought to be honestly accountable to a meaningful standard of conduct by a system overwhich they have no control, and even against their will.

"all that is necessary for evil to prevail in the world, is for good men to do nothing"

ayn rand

• The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.
• to fear to face an issue is to believe the worst is true.
• The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it.
• The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles
• There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
