I believed that sort of behavior comes equipped w/ punishment. I've seen the opposite.

My friends & I are older, we're being pushed out of the workforce by the meanies. They seem to thrive; we retire, often early.

Who are my friends? Cops who wouldn't plant drugs, EPA enforcement agents who wanted to enforce, marine biologists who wanted to install govt approved safety standards, teachers who wanted to do more than test, etc.
