The process is very gradual, you see. At first there's the tainted stage; they know what will eventually happen to them if they go on but they say, 'Oh God, don't do it to me do it again, please, please.'
The moment you give up your principles, and your values, you are dead, your culture is dead, your civilization is dead. Period.
