"but you know what's going on and still choose to work there."
In the 1980s I was discussing my career options with a teacher at South Seattle Community College, Ted Kosky. Ted was well known within the Seattle peace activist community at the time.
I told Ted I was leaning against working for defense oriented companies. Ted put this in front of me to consider:
If ethical people refuse to work for defense companies or government, then only unethical people would be working there. Do you want those places governed by 100% unethical people?
