Schools cannot teach everything that a person will need to know.
That's why it's important that students learn to think and to research
and to teach themselves. They need to be able to function on their own
in days to come, in matters that are unforeseen.
Same
thing regarding whom to vote for. No one can foresee what kind of
terrorist attacks we may face, what kinds of wars will be waged against
us, what kind of health epidemics may arise, what kind of environmental
disasters may occur. We must choose leaders who have the character and
integrity and wisdom to surround themselves with wise advisors and to
choose a safe direction through the troubles.
No matter
how important the issues are, we don't vote for issues (except on
referenda). We don't vote for a platform. We vote for a person.
And then we must trust that the person will make the right decisions
when faced with currently-unknown situations. That's why character
matters.
