Today from President Ezra Taft Benson,
"Yes, I repeat, righteousness is an indispensable ingredient to liberty. Virtuous people elect wise and good representatives. Good representatives make good laws and then wisely administer them. This tends to preserve righteousness.

"An unvirtuous citizenry tend to elect representatives who will pander to their covetous lustings. The burden of self-government is a great responsibility. It calls for restraint, righteousness, responsibility, and reliance upon God.
"It is a truism from the Lord that “when the wicked rule the people mourn.”
I've said many times in the past, our "representatives" are a representation of us. If we want better leaders, we need to be better people ourselves. #BeKind, #HelpOthers
You don't have to look much farther than how we interact here on this app to know that we need to be better towards one another. The constant "dunking," "gotcha," and "name calling" is tiresome.
"but what about them" always feels like a "well they started it" type of argument. You want change? Be the change. Be the bigger person. It sucks. It sucks to take the high road when you can call out someone else, but it is so much better in the long run.
