Good Afternoon, PVR


I regret I cannot agree with your expectation for how Step 3 will transpire.


You advocate a "conscience-based political system" and suggest it will evolve naturally through development of the True Democracy concept. My experience, on the other hand, indicates that conscience is a flexible attribute. Its exercise depends on the circumstances in which it is tested. You may well say the same thing applies to integrity ... and I would agree ... which is why the troika approach subjects candidates to careful, repeated character evaluations by people with a vital interest in finding any lapses in the candidate. It's not perfect, but it's better than taking the people we must trust on faith.


Still, both our opinions are conjecture. It may be that part of the difference in our views stems from our vision of the nature of goodness. Some years ago, I wrote a letter to a friend on the subject and learned, during the course of writing it, why leaders must be kept on a short leash. I believe the rationale bears on our discussion and would like to post it. May I?


Fred
