Religions Behaving Badly

[Thorne]

That goes for an awful lot of leaders of other kinds!

Yes it does, which is unfortunate in and of itself. But most of those other leaders don't claim to be speaking for God.

I have not respect for most leaders, but the few are those who, instead of trying to tell us what is good for us, try to do what the electorate tell them they need.

Same here. The large majority of our leaders are greedy and interested only in their own political careers. Which is one reason I favor term limits for all political leaders, and elimiinating pension plans for elected officials. They should not be permitted to make a career of politics.
