Maybe.
However, in YDP's world, if you see evil and choose to do nothing (especially because it is fiscally prudent to do so), that makes you evil as well. You're simply no better than the ones committing the atrocities.

If Oprah had blown a whistle ten years ago, could she have changed things? Maybe, maybe not. But here's what I know for sure:
