Knowledge without virtue breeds arrogance



Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
C. S. Lewis

  2. I agree JL that BO is woefully lacking in the kind of knowledge needed to run the country(or anything else for that matter). And yet the quote still stands in that his Harvard ed. has made him a more crafty devil. Not to us, but to others who value formal education over moral ethics as proof of competency. Also, I don't think he cares about what would work for the country economically. As long as the masses cut him a break due to a learning curve, the more time he has to intenionally destroy what is left of America. Is he pure evil? Close to it as I can't honestly think of one good thing that he has done or one virtuous trait that he possesses.
