His calling them "our values" may be correct if he is addressing us personally, but these aren't "our" values in the context of whole nations. Our challenge is to convert the majority of people back to truth, freedom and hope, indeed to show people what these terms mean. <br /><br />As an engineer, truth is at the centre of my profession. What traffic will use that bridge? Is it strong enough? What will it cost to build? Is the safety of people building and using it assured? What are the assumptions and risks? Likewise by analogy for doctors, accountants, farmers, hairdressers and everyone else pursuing a profession. How sad that people in the profession of leadership (isn't that what politics should be?) so often profit from lying! whitehorsepilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336201990231834504noreply@blogger.com
