#6  Early on back in the Old Testament when I was a kid, men were admired for doing what they thought was right and consensus be damned. Now it would appear that there is no higher or more desired accolade than getting your PC ticket punched. All concerns of honor, decency, or sere practicality being seemingly unimportant.

That said, couldn't happen to a better bunch and I earnestly hope it is the start of a long trend.
