“The problem is more complicated than that. Sometimes doing the
right thing brings a risk of personal harm (or people think it
does). In such a situation, they may be scared to do the right
thing. If the feeling in their consciences bothers them too much,
they may convince themselves that the wrong thing is ok, so that
their consciences shut up.”
“This is one way that a social movement can make a difference:
seeing other people doing the right thing will encourage people to
do the right thing themselves.”

and armies; there is no reason we should not use those against
them, if we can.“
