Quote from 'The Late Scholar' by Jill Paton Walsh (working with the wonderful characters Dorothy Sayers created of Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane):
"One of my colleagues in Birmingham University, where I come from,' said Trevair, 'is a moral philosopher. He taught me that one of the ways to judge a course of action is to consider what company it puts one in. I doubt if that's very good philosophy, but I find it a good rule of thumb." (109)
I think the GOP could use this about now....
