So would I :) -- I *can* see Humphrey saying to Percy, "Well done
Percy, you'll be a moral vacuum yet!"


But just for kicks, compare these two statements:

"There is no good and evil -- There is only power, and those too weak
to seek it."    -- Lord Voldemort

"As far as I'm concerned, Minister, there is no difference between
means and ends."    -- Sir Humphrey Appleby

(Do I detect kindred ideologies??)
