58. Suggestion: focus on ethics

Sun Feb 2, 2014, 08:43 AM

Feb 2014

Please contrast Republican policies with common religious ethics, and hang it loudly and proudly around the neck of the richest member of Congress, Mr Darrell Issa. This can be done with class, the essential underlying message being the hypocrisy of proclaiming what a Judeo-Christian nation we are, in the face of narcissistic and greedy laws and policies the Republicans support.

Pope Francis is about to issue what I hope will be the strongest language heard with regard to private industries' and Western nations' insistence on a fundamental right to pollute the environment however they wish. Use Pope Francis' words and give 'em hell -- call them out for giving us hell on earth, drought in California.

Contrast and compare: be a gentleman, don't mention how unethical he is, rather proclaim your own ethics time and again. As the Christie affair demonstrates, people are finally fed up with bullies.

Good luck.
