More Moral Mediocrity

The leaders of our two main polical parties are having a bun fight. One accused their opponent of having no integrity. The other accuses their opponent of corruption.

Both are both certain of their own innocence, and they are equally certain their opponent's guilt. I am reminded of Jesus words.

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye (Matt 7:3-5).

We have enough planks to build a platform.

Another reminder than democracy produces moral mediocrity.
