You are rogues taking good people hostages, no diffident than suicide bomber mentality.

The good person will be saved, all of the other good ones too.

You may need to worry only about the crooks, rotten criminals that you work with in the admin.

‘The music Bernard Herrmann wrote for 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘢𝘯 is diffident, sometimes almost unnoticeable. His score for Hitchcock’s next film, 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘰, is loud, lushly romantic and Wagnerian. But in some respect, the scores are identical.’
