. "...on the dance floor." By Ross E F Lombardi . I need to dance sometimes. But the reasons why are never seen. . I do not dance to find a date. If I like some woman, Then it will be because of a cool connecting conversation, Not just because we met on some dance floor. . I do not dance because I think that I am good at dancing.

Deciding NOT to act makes you responsible and guilty for 4 extra deaths than there could have been! . - Sometimes you must make the hard call that others will not, at any and all costs. . - AND then you must not shirk from either the internal self-inflicted cost of your own nightmares OR of the external harsh judgement of the world at large. You have to do what is right AND then pay all the debts due! ! . The ethical dilemma is ignoring the fact that Inaction  (Eg keeping your head down and not protesting or getting involved in fighting a social injustice)  IS STILL a
