Re: she's one of the "good guys"

Yes, she's one of the good guys. I guess Pennsylvania is not the only place where one will often find people who uses "guys" as a gender-neutral term :)

Her odyssey is telling in various ways. Throw a dart into an average pile of people with same or similar titles, holding similar position[s], while also being one of those rare "..tickling pink... top 4 percent institutionalized grant fund getters...". Put in the same predicament as she was led to, how often/how willing do you think such people are to stick to their guns - morals, versus lowering themselves the requisite amount in order to hang onto titles, careers, $$, positions and grant-garnering status? It may well be that such situations offer a person a rare opportunity to A) truly discover what/where their guns/morals are that they will stand up for, or B) truly discover how much one is willing to lower their moral standards in order to maintain high-profile Science careers and all that come with. The quote from Churchill speaks to this. I suspect that quote from Churchill came from an era prior to himself having been lured, turned and locked into "the other side" through similar predicament managed and watched over by high-level conspirators.... but I digress.

Phyliss Mullenix is one of the good guys in part because she once was there with ample opportunity to be locked into and absorbed into life on that side, but she had the wherewithall to resist, turn away from it and is now on this side. Tweet
