It doesn't matter what the rules of the game are if the players are all cheaters.
I have been doing a lot of reading from the book of Sirach lately. The insights and wisdom are astoundingly applicable to our times. While it is from the Old Testament, I did think of our founding fathers this morning as I read chapters 37, 38, and 39 covering keeping good counsel and what that actually means, respecting people of trades and skill, to lawyers etc.
It was a very good read with lots to think about. As it applies to this editorial about Scott Walker, Mr. Gerson doesn’t sound like the kind of person one should take counsel from regarding potential leaders. Sadly though, there is nearly half our nation that doesn’t know who to trust for counsel.
