The Star Players in the ShoreBank Story
by Central Illinois 9/12 ProjectThe Shorebank story is quite complicated and filled with literally hundreds – if not thousands — of individuals who have been in some way involved in the unfolding of an intriguing saga. It has been difficult to narrow down the field of characters in order to focus on just a few. Some of the names are familiar, and some are relatively unknown (except, perhaps, within the context of their own circles of influence).
The original founders of Shorebank probably didn’t dream that this bank would have the worldwide influence that it now has. They were all very active in their communities and had a desire to see the South Shore neighborhood re-built to its former state of safety and community life. The neighborhood had suffered economically and was becoming run-down and plagued by crime. Their hope was to re-invest and re-enliven this neighborhood of Chicago. They made loans towards the renovation of many of the buildings which were deteriorating and in disrepair. They also invested in new building projects to benefit the residents of South Shore.
For 30-plus years Shorebank has seen its founders’ dreams realized; and beyond those dreams, Shorebank has become the catalyst for international financing — especially that directed toward low-income people in many countries of the world. The Community Reinvestment Act, passed into law in 1977 during President Jimmy Carter’s term of office, encouraged financial institutions to make loans to low-income borrowers. Ron Grzywinski (one of the original founders of Shorebank) was the only banker to testify before Congress in support of the Community Reinvestment Act. Its passage was instrumental in paving the way for Shorebank’s success. The bank steadily grew financially and facilitated the renewal of poverty stricken areas through the rest of the 1970’s and early 80’s, catching the attention of then-Governor Bill and Hillary Clinton of Arkansas (in fact, according to the IFA, Bill is still advocating on behalf of ShoreBank).
Because Shorebank was lending to run-down neighborhoods, the Clintons, along with Shorebank, decided to establish the Southern Development Bancorporation in Arkadelphia, Arkansas in 1988. They hoped that the poor in Arkansas would be helped by the loans they could obtain. Hillary’s former roommate at Wellesley College, Jan Piercy, joined Shorebank in 1984.
In this video, Hillary Clinton speaks (in September 2008) about Shorebank. The “Ron” she refers to is Ron Grzywinski, one of the founders of Shorebank (founded in 1973).
Other ShoreBank Key Players
From Shorebank’s website:
“In 1973, Ron Grzywinski, Mary Houghton, James Fletcher and Milton Davis purchased a failing bank in a declining and disinvested neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. They set out to demonstrate that banks can be powerful tools for creating positive social and community change.”
Below is a picture of the 4 original founders of Shorebank. (Some articles number the founders at only 3, and one article spoke of a founder named Stanley Hallett, now deceased.) In any case, this is the picture that can be found on ShoreBank’s website.
Shorebank founders: Mary Houghton, Milton Davis(deceased), James Fletcher(deceased), Ron Grzywinsky
Ron Grzywinski
The leading roles in the Shorebank story must go to Ron Grzywinski and Mary Houghton. Ron and Mary Houghton were both employed at Hyde Park Bank when they decided to purchase the former South Shore Bank in 1973. Both very much community activists, they did not want to see the bank moved to the Loop in Chicago. Both of them served on many community organizations geared towards a progressive view point. Ron was instrumental in getting the Community Reinvestment Act passed by Congress. He was the only banker to testify before Congress to support the legislation. Ron was also the founder of the Center for Neighborhood Technology.
Mary Houghton
As one of the founders of Shorebank, Mary Houghton has been one of the motivating forces for the promotion of lending to lower income clients for the purpose of social change. She also has been very involved in community activism and has served on many organizations. As a recognition of their hard work, both she and Ron Grzywinski have received numerous awards.
Jan Piercy
Jan Piercy was Hillary Clinton’s former college roommate.
From Jan’s biography on the ShoreBank website:
“Jan rejoined ShoreBank in 2005 after over a decade of being away to work on developing a talent pool for Presidential appointments during the last stages of President Clinton’s first Presidential campaign. In addition, she served on the President’s White House staff before being nominated to become the U.S. representative on the board of the World Bank. She was confirmed by the Senate in 1994 and served for 7 years as the bank’s U.S. Executive Director, chairing the Board Personnel Committee and the Committee on Development Effectiveness, and also serving on the Audit Committee. As an Advisor to ShoreBank between 2002 and 2005, she was the lead member of the team that raised $28.8 million in capital to establish ShoreCap International. Jan was previously Senior Vice President at ShoreBank in the early 1980’s. Jan is on the Advisory Councils of the Acumen Fund in New York and the Global Philanthropy Forum in San Francisco, and the boards of Vital Voices and Women Advancing Microfinance. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.”
Robert Weissbourd
Another key player at Shorebank is Robert Weissbourd. He joined the banking firm in 1990 as Vice-President. He progressed up the ranks to Executive Vice-President by 1997. In 2000 he formed a consulting firm named RW Ventures, LLC. He currently serves as President of that firm.
According to RBO>>>>
“He has been active for over twenty-five years in community and civic organizations, including service as President or Vice-President of the Boards of City Colleges of Chicago, Crossroads Fund, Businesspeople in the Public Interest, the Center for Neighborhood Technology and PROCAN, as well as on the Visiting Committee of the University of Chicago Law School, and the Advisory Committees for the (Chicago) Mayor’s Technology Advisory Committee, Brookings Metropolitan Economy Project and Brookings Urban Markets Initiative.” (emphasis added)
The organization Businesspeople in the Public Interest (BPI) received $375,000 in grants from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge during the time that Barack Obama was Chairman. Weissbourd was a great supporter of Barack Obama during his campaign for US Senate in 2003-2004. He also was a part of the Obama-Biden transition team.
Adele Simmons
Adele Simmons is currently Director at Shorebank. She was President of the John D. and Catherine T. Macarthur Foundation from 1989 to 1999. She has been and is still active in a multitude of organizations too numerous to list here. Click HERE to see an interactive map of her associations.
Howard Stanback
Howard Stanback is presently on the Board of Directors for the Shorebank Neighborhood Institute. He has also previously served as President of the Hyde Park Community Association and is a former Board Chairman of the Woods Fund. Before joining Shorebank he was employed by the New Kenwood LLC, a real estate development co-owned by Allison Davis (Barack Obama’s former boss at the Davis, Miner, Barnhill Law Firm) and Tony Rezko. He and Barack Obama previously served together on the board of the Woods Fund.
Barack Obama
Barack Obama has several connections to Shorebank:
His wife Michelle Obama grew up in the South Shores neighborhood of Chicago where Shorebank first began.
He served on the Woods Fund board along with Board Chairman Howard Stanback, who is currently head of Shorebank’s Neighborhood Institute.
He also was chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) during the time that Business People for the Public Interest (BPI) was approved for $375,000 in grants. Ron Weissbourd, former Exec VP for Shorebank was serving on the board of directors for BPI during the same time period.
During the 2008 Presidential campaign, while still a Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama visited Kenya, the former home of his biological father. He promoted the application of microfinancing (an activity for which ShoreBank has been a major promoter) as a way to fight poverty world-wide. Chicago’s Shorebank donated $1 million to Kenya and also assisted in setting up financial institutions in Kenya and many other locations throughout the world.
Another significant connection between Obama and Shorebank is the fact that his political campaigns (both IL Senatorial and US Presidential) were very generously contributed to by its staff.
George Soros
Although the connections between ShoreBank and George Soros are indirect ones, Mr. Soros has been very involved in promoting microfinancing as a viable avenue for bringing about social/economic change. In an April 2004 article in Investment News, George Soros is quoted regarding microfinance:
“I believe there is a market of socially conscious investors, be it foundations or individuals, who would invest in microfinance if they knew where to go,” he said…. “Right now, microfinance is tiny compared with the market that needs to be served…. The real challenge is to figure out how to bring [microfinance] to the macro level. Just lending money alone won’t lead to a scaling up.”
Click HERE to view an interactive map of George Soros’s associations. Mr. Soros was, of course, a major contributor to Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign.
Other familiar names with ties to ShoreBank — Jeremiah Wright and Van Jones:
ShoreBank was the institution that financed the highly publicized loan to Trinity United Church of Christ (Jeremiah Wright’s church) for Jeremiah Wright’s $1.6 million retirement home, as well as a $10 million line of credit for Trinity United.
Another familiar name is that of Van Jones, who is a recognized account holder at ShoreBank. No real surprise here when you take into account the heavy-handed green agenda promoted by ShoreBank. This video can be found on ShoreBank’s website:
<embed src=”http://blip.tv/play/Ad31FwI” width=”480″ height=”350″ allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true”></embed>
Shorebank has recently experienced major financial losses prompting federal regulators to issue a “cease and desist” order. Until the situation is resolved (by raising more equity), the order will remain in effect.
From ChicagoBusiness.com on Dec 11, 2009:
ShoreBank co-founders Ronald Grzywinski and Mary Houghton, who’ve led one of the country’s most high-profile community banks for more than three decades, are easing out of their leadership posts, the bank announced to employees today.
Mr. Grzywinski, 73, and Ms. Houghton, 68 … are passing leadership of the holding company to George Surgeon, the ShoreBank veteran who was named CEO of the bank in early November….
In Friday’s letter to employees, Mr. Grzywinski wrote that he and Ms. Houghton next year “will continue to focus on raising capital and providing oversight of ShoreBank Pacific, the international companies and all the non-profit affiliates so that all of George [Surgeon]’s attention can remain focused on the Midwest bank.”
It appears as though the ship may be sinking and people are running for their lives.
In a subsequent article by Steve Daniels with ChicagoBusiness.com dated January 18, 2010:
ShoreBank seeks financial rescue from state of Illinois
Prodded by the likes of U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin and U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Illinois Finance Authority officials met earlier this month with ShoreBank executives to discuss raising tens of millions for the bank through an IFA bond offering….
Banking experts say they’re not aware of any previous bank bailout by Illinois or any other state. (emphasis added) Federal bank regulators usually handle such bailouts. And banks the size of ShoreBank, with assets of $2.5 billion, don’t ordinarily attract attention at the upper levels of government.
But ShoreBank has been lauded by presidents for making loans in economically disadvantaged areas many lenders avoid. And its political ties run all the way to the White House, where President Barack Obama and the first lady are former neighbors of ShoreBank executives.
Mr. Brandt says the IFA, an economic development arm of state government, won’t consider similar assistance for Illinois’ numerous other small banks beset by the same real estate loan troubles.
“We’re not in the business of saving banks,” he says.
Still, a ShoreBank rescue would almost certainly trigger requests for help from other struggling local banks, some of which also serve low- to moderate-income communities. Rejecting such requests could trigger political repercussions from officeholders intent on saving banks in areas they represent….
An IFA bond offering could raise $30 million to $50 million for ShoreBank, depending on how much the bank gets from others. The rest of the capital could take the form of equity from private investors, and possibly an infusion of funds from the federal government’s Troubled Asset Relief Program.
In minutes from the January 9th’s IFA board meeting, Chairman William Brandt indicated saving ShoreBank was still a priority for him. He explained that ShoreBank deserved special consideration for IFA assistance due to its unique social mission, but acknowledged the situtation was still fragile.
Should Illinois Taxpayers be forced to bail out any bank with Illinois funds? Is this a case of Shorebank being “too big to fail”? Or perhaps “too politically connected” to fail? What about smaller, less politically connected banks? Shouldn’t the Illinois Finance Authority (IFA) consider bailing them out also?
The above article presents but a few of the many individuals who are personally invested in the success of Shorebank. It will be interesting to watch this situation continue to unfold. With Illinois being virtually bankrupt, how will Illinois residents respond to a bank bailout if it is, in fact, approved by the IFA? We’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on the outcome.

What did you think?..This is a dirty dirty low down corrupt admin.And people thought he would move to the center.Look out more to follow!
The Star players of Shore Bank?
That is quite the rogues gallery of various and sundry douche bags. I love the video of Barry the Bushman in Kenya. If you listen to the vid, apparently Harry Reid was right; Barry speaks with a Negro dialect, when opportunity and necessity dictate.
This Shore Bank cast of characters could probably transition to the new show I just heard about. Something about the Jersey Shore………….
Interesting tidbit about Shore Bank, from their website:
http://www.shorebankcorp.com/bins/site/templates/...
an excerpt:
"In Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and the Pacific Northwest, ShoreBank established nonprofit organizations that provide higher-risk loans, informational services, and employment services to complement its federally regulated banks."
Why then the surprise that a Bank goes teats up, when their business model included "high-risk loans"?
Another installment of a well put together series on ShoreBank. The group of bandits involved begins to look like a police lineup. As that ugly string gets pulled, it appears to get worse. Soros is clever enough to insulate himself with a bevy of stooges to take the fall should things start tumbling. I think he is the linchpin in the entire subversive element that is poisoning this country. Grzywinski has been peddling snake oil for a very long time through powerful political candidates in Illinois politics and on a national level. Let's not forget how Ms. Jarrett fits in.
This isnt the only one. Last month, Oregon St University wanted to fire head Basketball coach Craig Robinson, Michelle Obamas brother. Seems a rather large “stimulus” check was granted to the university with the caveat they had to keep Mr Robinson employed as head Bball coach. Another bribe? By the way, has anyone checked into the black racist trash MAXINE WATTERS and her shady bank connections?
Did I hear the Dali Bama correctly in the first video? Did he say something like instead of giving people a hand out, you give them capital and let them use it ? The complete opposite of what he is trying to do here now.
Just a little history to sorta put things in perspective;
ShoreBank evolved from South Shore Bank that did business in a very vibrant community in Chicago in the 40s, 50s and early 60s.
The South Shore area along the Lake Michigan shore on the south side of Chicago was comprised of big single family homes on huge lots as well as two and three story apt buildings. It was primarily a Jewish and Irish community.
I would put the South Shore Country Club up against any in the country.,……..
Than in the late 70s the area was overtaken by the white flight that had starting moving south from 35th street in the 50s. The beautiful beveled glass window panes were beginning to be replaced by Georgia Pacific plywood.
South Shore Country Club was abandoned, Mother Aquinas school for Catholic girls and The Faulkner school for Jewish girls shut their doors and the building have long been demolished. The El Rukens (let's just call it a Black org. and leave it at that) took over the community.
However, in the 80s the community (including South Shore Bank), mostly Black by than, started to fight back and retake South Shore. Things were beginning to happen, the community was coming back. The South Country Club did not come back but at least the beautiful club house structures were saved as a result of the Chicago Park District taking over the facility and renovated it to (almost) its former grandeur.
Than enter the Progressives. The two original bank folks, the ones now deceased, had to relinquish control of their bank to this new wave of the pie in the sky lefties mentioned in the article. All the players start to take their positions
Obama back stabs the state senator at that time from that area (forget her name). The Rev Wright starts his rantings and ShoreBank becomes the founding financial support for this cabal and this outfit joins forces with national figures and organizations.
The rest is all common knowledge. The well financed, well organized Progressives have now taken over the Executive branch of the Federal Government.
South Shore Bank is replaced by ShoreBank,….and ,…..
The Constitution is replaced by the Manifesto.
Excellent article.When I read the words "progressive outlook", "social change", I knew what was coming. These people have only attempted to realise change in one way, it's the march to totalitarianism.
There are many levels the Progressives must engage our American Way of Life in order to dismantle it, piece by piece, to totally destroy the very fabric of our society and remold it in the Progressive/Fascist/Marxist model.
That the Progressives are sooooo entrenched in our society is sometimes startling, always disgusting.
+Hanzo+
What could be wrong with that business model?
This is more information that should have come to light before 11/08, our press is as useless as teats on a boar hog.
One way or another, it's how they operate, eh Ralph? -Hanzo-
I know!…duh. Just think, this is the Keynesian gang running our country…we are in heap big trouble!
My God! There is just no end to the corruption of this administration!!!
He is the consummate LIAR!!!
Further proof that, the more we learn about this president, the more reason we have for IMPEACHMENT!!
Yes.
The press and MSM sure vetted Barry, eh?
Thank You Central illinois 9/12…Keep the pressure on…Don't let up!
What a tangled web…It's so tangled..it's hard to follow unless you have a
schematic in front of you!!!….Ralph, I lived on 35th and Lowe Avenue…West
of Shore Bank……We went to our neighborhood bank on 34th and Halstead….
Did I miss in this very long piece what Shorebank did? Isn't there some sort of brief synopsis usually given to catch folks up?
I know the players. I do not know what they did.
I'm almost speechless,…………..who knew this was going on so far back. Without really good newspaper
reportage this would have only been considered a local, maybe regional, possibly a statewide story. I'm
sooooo thankful to algore for inventing this internet thingy. They can camouflage themselves if they wish,
but eventually the cob-web will be swept down. Question now is, will there be any way to keep our money
from being poured down this RAT hole. Wonder if this is the only one of its type?
The MSM needs to be dissolved, absolutely useless informing the public.
I hope I live long enough to see Obama and company wearing orange jump suits.
George Soros, known Nazi sympathizer and collaborator, and an august lot of Obama's progressive cronies. Hmm, why am I not surprised.
Say what you want about Bridgeport,…..but it is still there.
Familiar with the are there cardon. Last time I looked there was even some semblance of street shopping on Halsted.
Kept waiting and waiting and waiting and,….. nothing ever surfaced about all of this,…..I suppose,…
it was all this hatred toward Bush that blinded most of us,….knew all was lost when,…..
I walked into my old neighborhood bar and all the ironworkers told me,……
" F__K George Bush, he has messed up the economy so much, we are going to give the (BLANK) a shot"
Yes, I'm sure Jarrett is mixed in there somewhere.
I will find the information and provide. I read that another tug on a string revealed her receipt of loans to finance her slums. The eye has been upon them and the venture for the Olympics was to cover the shady borrowing and lending by ShoreBank to finance her slum capitol. I am digging.
Say what you want about Bush and his elites. At least it appears that he helped and profited from his other wealthy friends. Obama's crew seems to have only profited from the poor which makes them exponentially worse.
I hope that real journalists continue to provide this kind of information that reveals the true intent of the so-called leftists which is self-promotion as do-gooders but they are in fact only out for personal gain and profit. I'd be curious to know the the financial gains these people have received from their social justice efforts.
Anybody pick up on Obama's dialect when he was speaking on the megaphone. Sounded like a "home boy" to me!
This is the tip of the proverbial iceberg. A concerted criminal consirpacy. obama
is the front man now for soros. Wake up “We the People” now.
This is the tip of the proverbial iceberg. This is a criminal conspiracy. The weather underground robbed banks, this is the same theft with a different modus operandi. obama is the front man for soros and the co-conspirators. Wake up "We the People" !!!! Keep digging, please.
He only has the Negro dialect when he wants it, like giving away stuff to his homies.
We have family living in Chicago still…The last time we were up there was 6
years ago….We drove around looking at everything…I was surprised at how
everything had changed…But, I will say, it was a great place to grow up when
i was a kid…..I still have good memories of it!!
Can you imagine how long the list of charges would be? Probably more pages than the freaking health bill !
And this is only part of the story! For more see-http://www.thepatriotsflag.com/2010/02/j-a-morett...
[...] See original here: » The Star Players in the ShoreBank Story – Big Government [...]
This is not all, ShoreBank has received million of taxpayers funding through TARP. They have friends with very deep pockets and lots of power.
For Example as explained above George Soros is a good friend of ShoreBank. http://www.americanparchment.com reported that he is also credited with trying to destroy the Euro and Greece in order to make more money. He is a speculator that hurts these countries. Interesting isn't, he and his leftist friends want us to become like Europe and then he goes and tries to bankrupt them when the opportunity comes.
SEE MORE ON WHAT THE LEFT IS DOING:
To see some more of the huge spider web of players go check out the Website for the Calvert Foundation…especially the Community Investment Partners page if it is still there. BO's mother was also featured in a section since she was involved in microfinance with a young Tim Geithner in Indonesia. The Grameen Foundation is also mentioned. The founder of the Grameen Movement is none other than Muhammad Yunus who was honored by BO with a US Congressional Medal of Honor in 2009! Also, feel free to upset yourself a little more by checking out the Club of Budapest website….the list of members will shock you, too. Mohammed Yunus is the creator of "micro-credit" in Bangladesh….is this the direction our Dear Leader wants to take us???? I loved those Shanty Towns in Kenya…they looked very cozy!
This is not a bank, more than it is a way station for taxpayers monies from the federal government that are given to the poor, with a few people 'gaming' said money to make some money of their own.Quite a scam really…

An interesting read…
Funny – during the W years no one cares about billions flowing through Haliburton and other shadow corporations – but during the new Obama years the bloggers can only find this? A tiny bank financing the poor? There are no insider loans here, no mortgages for mansions, no investment bankers giving kickbacks or sucking billions from the Treasury. Get over it – this is not a story with legs. Its the last days of the Bush Administration that should be catalogued – thats when HUNDREDS of BILLIONS were gifted to Wall Street cronies and political donors. Follow the billions, not the pocket change.
Did I miss in this very long piece what Shorebank did? Isn't there some sort of brief synopsis usually given to catch folks up?
I know the players. I do not know what they did.
Redistribution of wealth to those who truly built this country.<sarc>
You see, you're under the mistaken impression that A) Bush was a conservative, and B) conservatives loved Bush. Wrong on both counts.
Haliburton was not a threat to the constitution, or the economy of the US. The repeal of Glass Steagall, the fraud of CRA and Fannie and Freddie, Franks, Waters, Geithner, on the other hand, set up the crises we are currently in, and it's going to cost TRILLIONS we don't have. But, feel free to dig dirt about kickbacks to build huts and serve grub in the desert. If you have EVIDENCE, go for it. You will find conservatives are pretty non partisan on corruption. However, we are currently busy with our shovels uncovering the unimaginable slime that is the Chicago machine, that is on the verge of collapsing our country. I suggest taking off the rose colored glasses and help us dig while there is still time.
FYI, TARP was run through by Pelosi, every single House GOP voted against it. That fiasco lead to the creation of the TEA Party as a protest against out of control spending and taxpayer bail outs of stupid greedy banksters.
George Soros…. . . buying up the property of jews that died in Concentration Camps without batting an eye…. as cold and dead a soul as any man that has ever lived…. preying on the misery of others…. Proud Anti-American…. blood sucking parasite of a human-being….. Soul Derstroying Bottom Feeder… Proud Violent Leftist. . . . bank-rolls Terrorists… Subversives. . . Propaganda Minister of Leftist Facists… . backer of 'Air America. . . leftist propaganda machine…. goal..- to destroy America and Israel… support Jihadists.. infilitrate America with Leftist Anarchists…. and Terrorists… Obama Supporter
Well of course they'll save it, it's books can't be opened to scrutiny!! Besides it is Santa Clause to so many!!! Racketeering used to be illegal in the United States!
Is this a multiple choice question? I guess I'd have to say all the above. But you forgot dickhead.
Identifying it is the hardest part, but I agree with your conclusion. I am going to do some research and post it here for clarity. Stay tuned and I’ll be back with the info. I made sure to bookmark the site so I’ll be able to find my way back.

Any President that would sign the Stimulus or this God awful Health Care Bill should be recalled from office.__Obama is nothing more than a White Collar Criminal. He is hell bent on destroying this nation. If the people allow this to happen they deserve it. He has liteally fleeced this nation of bilolions of dollars. If the constitution fits his agenda then he uses it to his advantage and if it does not then he changes.
TOmmy I have to say, Trisha is delivering hard to argue information. Nice job. I know right where I can get the information you are referencing, I’ll get it and post later. Thanks.
Dawn I have to say, Kevin is delivering hard to refute information. Nice job. I know right where I can get the information you are referencing, I’ll get it and post later. Thanks.
Evidence? How about Haliburton (source of Cheney's wealth?) conducting business in the billions with Iran while the US is seeking an embargo. Its SO revisionist to look back and say Bush was not a converative – hell, he peddled his chiristianity and conservative positions in both campaigns and admit it – you voted for him.
Well, I'm unaware of any actual evidence of wrongdoing. And since its not a direct threat to the country, and the players have all moved on, I'm not interested. I'm not interested in a fishing expedition, but, If there is evidence, then as I said, proceed. I'm not stopping any investigation.
Bush did peddle his so called conservatism. And like his old man, it was mostly window dressing. And then he proceeded to put out the drug plan. He also got sloppy with his budgets. Cutting taxes is nice, but you can't increase spending at the same time. And since you're not a conservative, then you are unaware of the hounding he received from right wing media. Unfortunetly, it was not loud enough to effect a change. Going into the 06 elections, the right pleaded for the conservatives not to stay home and let the Dems take Congress, or in 08 with that milquetoast McCain. And even then the BHO "miracle" was only 4%. So no, its not revisionist history to people who follow such things. I have found that in general, when chosing evil, it's usually best to chose lesser. Unless Cthulhu is on the ticket of course.
