In a world where good people refuse to learn how to persuade others and gain power, the world will be ruled by bad people. That's how it is now, and I'm sick of it.

I'm Gray and proud of it. Shades of gray matter - a lot - but White is for losers.

Very well said. I'd take it one step further and say that when the only practical options are shades of Gray, then Gray is the new White.

Options that aren't practically viable should never end up in the moral calculus to begin with. Morality should be the thing we use to select between the practical options.
