6. Corrupt is corrupt.

Luckily here in the USA people are as yet still free to leave one job and seek another if they find some part of their job morally bankrupt or illegal.

Or they can stay and fight the corruption.

Or they can do nothing and be complicit.

And they can be perfectly nice people in any of those courses of action.

Having a family or being a nice person does not preclude them being corrupt. Nor does it excuse the corruption.
