Whistleblowers vs Non Whistleblowers

Legitimate whistleblowers do it because they dread living with a corrupted self more than they dread retaliation. To see a wrong and not to expose it is to become a silent partner to its continuance. Dr. John Raymond Baker. "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
