I don't know AA. I'm not sure that it's all that black and white. I grew up with a sister. We are only a year and a half apart. I pretty much did everything my parents told me to do. I got in trouble every once in a while but my sister was outright deceitful. She would tell our dad that she was going to church just so she could have the car. He caught her when, after a few months, he noticed the checks he gave her for the church were never cashed. In know, right? Duh. And that is just one example. She used to sneak out at night also. So we had two kids with the same parents, treated the same...well, I was the favorite, still am
...but in our childhood, had very different views with respect to proper behavior.

Why anyone would look to politicians to validate or champion their own values, is just naive, in my opinion. I don't want politicians who impose personal behavior.

Totally agreed. Unfortunately, they do it on both sides of the aisle.
