Opinion
Once, in a fairy-tale land,
public officials operated with civility, high motives
By DAVID
EPPS
Pastor
Once upon a time, in a
fairy-tale land far, far away, I believed in the
inherent goodness of government. I believed that
civic-minded citizens, wishing to contribute their
skills and talents for the common welfare and benefit
of all, offered themselves for public office and,
once elected, operated with the highest of motives
and with civility and consideration for all the
citizenry.
