"Okay,
so you just found out that that substance your company dumped in a landfill in
Jersey contains dioxins. And you just found out that that landfill is located

get along to go along": verb. colloquial
"I
know your child was mistreated by this priest. I know the parish told you he'd
never work with children again. I know you just saw a photo of him working with
kids in another state. But, listen, this is the Church you're talking about. It
moves like an ocean liner. Slowly. And remember. There are wiser heads than
yours at work on this."
"to
lay low": verb. "to cover your ass": verb
"So
you let your boss get away with a little hanky panky and now you realize he is
full bore in violation of major federal guidelines. And you want to blow the
whistle on him. Why not someone else? Do you realize how much paperwork you'd
have to fill out? And you'd never get that letter of rec you'd need to stay
afloat once your ship goes down. And you were with him in the beginning so
you'd be in trouble, too."
Respect
the institution. Respect the more important people. Respect the masses. Who are
you to speak out?
