It is an inescapable paradox of verbal social animals that one who offers instruction in telling right from wrong appears to place himself above others yet one who neither condemns wrong nor praises right places others below himself.
I think that sentiment both describes and excuses the business I fancy I am about, so it goes on the masthead. And it could be that the silent, who's acquiescence lends strength to those in error, may think of themselves more as being outside of society than of being above the fray but it is still an illusion and serves them ill.
