I was perhaps one of the few people that were not part of [Pablo Escobar] group of yes-men because I was not a direct beneficiary of the violence that his actions generated.

Trips to the dentist - I like to postpone that kind of thing.

Or - perhaps - I should just worry about my own behavior and let others be who they are.
