We’ve Got a Problem Here
Too many enforcers in our midst — on both left and right.
(Page 2 of 2)
One wonders if King Solomon had cable TV in mind when he wrote, “Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared.” (Proverbs, 22:24-25)
That brawling has spilled over like a boiling poison. In the real world, you have to have friends and colleagues. In the real world, people need people.
So if a political idea gets you a knife in the back at the office, in a vestry meeting, or before an admissions committee, you really do make the wiser decision not to say it.
