Virtues Trump Vices

If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those you not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have help changed. We don't need magic to transform our world; we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already; we have the power to imagine better.  - JK Rowling Vices today trump the values this country is blessed with.  Our President has been broadcasting unprecedented d angerous vices and failing to be the great deal maker.   Greater division in income reveals that 1% of the people are getting 82% of today’s wealth.    We have gone from being a world leader to a one of an unhinged bully.  True leaders embody values not vices.
