I think someone needs to check into Senator McConnell's financial worth. I think he received some money from his current wife's ( our current Transportation Secretary)  father. I also think we need to change Acton's words and put in the word wealth just for emphasis so that wealth and power corrupt and absolute power and wealth corrupt absolutely. This goes for all human institutions especially these days. Barbara Tuchman nailed how history repeats itself in her book " A Distant Mirror." And to think this senator comes from Tom Merton country. I am thinking of the gospel of the workers in the vineyard here. My father always struggled with that and I remember him talking at the dinner table about the gospel and then saying " Do I want I God of Mercy or a God of Justice? He realized the God of Mercy was much , much better not only for others but for himself.
