Henry – I am particularly impressed by your ability to thread such a difficult needle. I also am concerned that people will compromise the integrity of faithfulness in favour of a false and undesirable (to me) political end. I dared to leave a foreigner’s comment on the election at Arthur Sido’s blog. Maybe I shouldn’t. But when a policy of me-first has been followed so long – at least 20 years of deregulation, it takes more than 4 years to turn it around. The housing crisis alone makes the need for regulation so obvious and it exposes the greed that destroys a culture. I must admit, though, that I am more left wing than most business people, and very concerned with caring for the dispossessed. I was surprised that Arthur labelled Obama a bad president. One should not use adjectives that way, I think.
