Remaining silent in the presence of evil is evil. You may not exorcise the demon but you can try. Would you try? Why?

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". Edmund Burke. He was an Irish statesman born in 1729 and died in 1797. He has been regarded by some to be the father of modern Conservatism. Do you think those who refuse to fight evil are evil? That is not what Burke said. It is what I'm saying. He just said that if good men do nothing evil will triumph. I think that makes those "good men" evil too. Do you?

    He has been regarded by some to be the father of modern Conservatism.  Irony.
