therefore, a good woman need not act at all

Cole is that a roundabout way of telling all women to sit down and be quiet?

Nice one, but then can we also say that good prevails when evil men/women fail to act?

I thought Spiderman was about the repetition of "With great power comes great responsibility". I lost count of the number of times they repeated that.

Probably catering for Women with their 3 minute memories ( I kid, I kid...)

A mate of mine accidently knocked over a jug of beer that me and another mate just bought.

To make up for it he spent the last of his money and bought us each a pint.

He is a good man. He acted

A more PC version can be found in the movie "Helloboy": "In the absence of light, darkness prevails."

I think the quote "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" may be from Burke.
