“Canada will eventually fall off the fence...”
One of mine, from February 9, 2003 [specifically about our government dithering on the Iraq war but it applies far more widely].
“The greatest blessings we receive in life are undeserved. For example, I didn’t do anything to deserve good parents. On the other hand, it is not unjust for a person to have such a blessing, and it is not an act of justice to try to erase it. What justice requires is gratitude for blessings received. What charity requires is trying to act in a way that blessings of the same kind may be more widely enjoyed.”
