When we see "individuals with more freedom than they can manage" we should see them as threats to our own freedom and, like Dr. Walker, be angry enough to speak out. The danger that lies within is that we have the freedom to destroy our democratic way of life if we allow it to happen. Those who excuse what they do by saying, "everyone else is doing it," are the moral weaklings, each doing his bit to undermine the integrity of the nation. "On an Egyptian tomb, when the first dynasty was falling into ruin because the moral fibre of the empire had frayed, someone inscribed the words, ‘and no one was angry enough to speak out.‘ The same words would have been appropriate when ancient Greece was floundering toward disaster, or when Rome began its decline." one another," but we try to undermine those who stand in the way of our progress.

Unfortunately, as Plato said in the fourth century B.C., ‘a democratic order gives individuals more freedom than they can manage.‘ EYE EXAMINATIONS ARRANGED Wtb ons itc tss hi utsld ilicninndifie oc ic at d l L B 8 04 000 "If a salesâ€"clerk gave you too much change, would you return it? Think carefully. Your answer may tell a great deal about our sense of integrity as a nation. In the wake of countless horror stories of corruption and deceit on this continent, there is now much talk of the need for ethics in business.
