Ethics Questions

If I have the ability to stop, without risk to myself, someone from performing an act that conflicts with my ethics, do I have an obligation to do so?

What if the method I have for doing so is the same act that I intend to stop them from doing?

What if my act will only stop a portion, perhaps even a tiny portion, of the total set of "unethical" acts that this person (or group) will perform?

(Nothing sinister, just wondering)

"Text is neat. You can do all sorts of stuff with it that you can't do in speech. And vice-versa." -- Me.

Essentials in Conducting

So, I'm working on a Distributed Proofreaders (check it out, proofread a few pages if you have a few minutes...) project right now called Essentials in Conducting by Karl W. Gehrkins. And, I swear, it contains the following line:

The conductor must see to it ... that, in general, the musical performance be permeated by that steady throb of regular pulsation...

He is, of course, speaking of rhythm... ;-)
