Good points & good question too, Paulos. I certainly agree with you those
in power should be held to the same 'higher standard' advocated by some on
this thread.
Now, to answer your question, suppose you have a few stinking fish
(from the 'Red Sea') among many in your ice box. What, in your honest opinion,
would clear the Bad, Bad Air??:
Throwing them out OR putting more stinking fish in the box?

I'm sure you can fish out the answer to your questions ;)
