2GreenEnergy supporter Gary Tulie writes from his home in Buckinghamshire (near London), England:
I remember a while ago speaking to an auditor whilst on a hike, and they were saying how to preserve their reputation for impartiality, and guard against any perception of bias, or coming under influence, they would refuse anything beyond basic water, tea, and coffee (instant not Costa) whilst carrying out their work. For them, receiving so much as a cookie or a company biro (ballpoint pen) open the door to reputational risk. If only senior politicians and judges would abide by similar ethical standards, the world would be a very different place!
Yes. What we have here in the States is an embarrassing mess.
FWIW, I still don’t understand why we need special rules to govern the conduct of our justices. We already have laws against corruption and bribery that apply to every U.S. citizen.
We have starving veterans living in our streets and dying of treatable diseases.
Sure, the MAGA crowd hated gays and loves divisiveness, but is naming a month for our vets is the very best we can do for them?
Thomas Sowell is not an idiot, and thus he must know that no one wants a social order in which everyone’s lives turn out the same. Does anyone truly believe that drug addicts, morons, and lazy slobs should enjoy the same fruits of prosperity as temperate and diligent people?
It would be nice, however, if all of us had equal opportunity for success. If you’re interested, Google “equity vs. equality.”
One of the tragedies of life in America today is rhetoric that is deliberately designed to cloud our thinking with fallacious logic. He should be ashamed of himself.
It’s said that those who act decently because they fear the wrath of God and being sent to hell in the afterlife are simply terrible people on a leash. That speaks to me.
