but when Edmund Burke wrote;
All that is necessary for evil to prevail in the world,
is for good men to do nothing.
This is what he was writing about.
The terms of public service are the prerogative of the public. Fundamental among those terms; public servants are accountable to the public, and to meaningful standards of conduct and competence, at least for the eight measly hours a day that we have to "trust" them with the control over our power and our resources.
Evil is as Evil does.
