Political Ploys
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: July 3, 2008
"One-term pledge!" This is just one more ploy in the long list of ploys devised by the masters in political intrigue. For the overly ambitious the need to win becomes a corrupting force. Dirty politics heads the list; the list is growing longer, and the ploys more desperate, as defeat draws near.
Have we forgotten the ultimate lie told to us with a straight face, "I am not a crook?" In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., "The means we use (to attain our goals) must be as pure as the ends we seek." The change needed today can never be brought about by business as usual, as it requires honesty, righteousness and integrity coming from the top.
