<<<...about half of people get away with what they can get away with. All children do until they learn. They just don't see it as being bad.>>>

Maurice,

I agree that, more or less, a lot of people turn out not to be so terrific. But universally kids start out saying they want to be good and are told they will be rewarded if they are good.

Good intentions however are not quite good enough. Definitions and nuances require intellectual bandwidth to understand. Most of the time it is the bandwidth challenged that give up the understanding parts of good and bad and they go with their primal needs.

<<< George Bush... He prays ...>>>

As the joke goes, I was born at night, but it was not last night.

George Bush was a fun loving frat rat. He never had to work very hard to get in to the best schools, the sweetest business deals, and the best assignments - whether in the National Guards or in government.

Just when the transformation into a God fearing/loving person came into being is a mystry. Just like some of his National Guard service, there were no witnesses.

A not religious, fun loving, frat rat could still be a pretty good person.

But as President of the only super power in the world...
just say I am not sure about this. I am skeptical.

Mary
