#corrupt

Obscenity, which is ever blasphemy against the divine beauty in life, is a monster for which the corruption of society forever brings forth new food, which it devours in secret. ↗

Being a copper I like to see the law win. I'd like to see the flashy well-dressed mugs like Eddie Mars spoiling their manicures in the rock quarry at Folsom, alongside of the poor little slum-bred guys that got knocked over on their first caper amd never had a break since. That's what I'd like. You and me both lived too long to think I'm likely to see it happen. Not in this town, not in any town half this size, in any part of this wide, green and beautiful U.S.A. We just don't run our country that way. ↗

إن الانسان لا يمكن ان يكون شريفًا داخل محيط من الفساد و الفسق، الشرف لايمكن أن يكون فردياً بأى حال من الاحوال،حتى لو تحلى به الانسان و اعتنقه، فالشرف كما يبدو لي الان؛ لا يتحقق بالاختيار فقط ولا بالممارسة فحسب و الا فأنا شريك بالصمت في هذه الجريمة. ↗
