Unless a man has pity he is not truly a man.

In time, as more honest men grasp the truth, evil’s stranglehold will be easily broken.
It is tempting to believe that social evils arise from the activities of evil men and that if only good men (like ourselves, naturally) wielded power, all would be well. That view requires only emotion and self-praise - easy to come by and satisfying as well. To understand why it is that 'good' men in positions of power will produce evil, while the ordinary man without power but able to engage in voluntary cooperation with his neighbors will produce good, requires analysis and thought, subordinating emotions to the rational.
An industry devoted to serving the public's right to know gives twisted and evil men the means of becoming known.
