·       if a thin-skinned, vindictive, mean, powerful force is in the position of playing king, judge, and jury… you can choose to be critical (if you’d like), but…

 
·       …there might be times when it’s prudent to just kiss the ring.  think hostage situations, etc. as times when it’s best to pick one's battles wisely.
 
there’s a time to call-out a dick-tator, but there’s also a time to bow-down and kiss up.
