        I’ll be more clear then:

        There are certain actions which “goodness” disallows. There are no actions which “evilness” disallows. This will always give the edge to evil, unless the number who support good are overwhelmingly larger. Just a majority will not do.

            To be fair, that Kitty Genovese story quoted there isn’t really accurate as to what actually happened, as there weren’t as many witnesses as popularly understood, they generally did not get a clear picture of what was happening, and several did call the police. Still, I suppose that’s just an example and not really the point at hand.

            Though many saw, no one so much as called the police. They all just watched as Kitty was being stabbed to death in broad daylight. They watched as her assailant walked away.

            Sorry, why is that being used as a benchmark for “good men”?
