Sean, I mean no disrespect, nor do I usually nitpick this sort of thing. However I couldn't help it in this case. A pion is an elementary particle (a π meson, in fact); I believe you mean peon, which in this context is "a person who does minor jobs in an office."

"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right." -Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom." -Isaac Asimov (1920-1992)
