In my case, I'm reasonably at peace with me job considering that I'm doing what I can in the given framework to push something which is definitely good (wind power), while arguing for a differentframework which would make that good easier to attain, but without the input of bankers like myself. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
I'm not sure how to articulate it well, but dumping not-yet-illegal toxic wastes is clearly on one side, and paying low taxes while arguing for higher is clearly on the other.
As for the perception of hypocrisy undermining a position, changing that perception (in the appropriate cases) is of course part of the political/cultural task I'm advocating. Words and ideas I offer here may be used freely and without attribution.
