... something bad happens to all of us when people go bad on us.
- Big-time brokers cheat on the system and defraud the people who trusted it.
- Rich and powerful people betray the trust of little people.
- Preachers of the gospel cheat their followers out of cash and hang out in scruffy brothels.
- Political leaders violate the rules of their own game.
And while the haves are stuffing their pockets with more, people living all around them have no homes and their children do not have enough to eat.
It makes us wonder: What sort of people are we getting to be?
(Lewis B. Smedes, A Pretty Good Person, p. 3)
