Like bad-guy Crouch saying (paraphrase): "Decent people are so 
easy to manipulate."

On another tentacle, most of the PCs of most of the people in my frpg 
group (no figurines: that's what imagination is for) are pretty 
much good guys. Good guys who might be a little silly in terms of 
gluttony, lust, wanting to keep with the day job that pays the 
bills even tho' the world needs to be saved... okay, a whole lot 
silly, but on the side of good nonetheless.
