Speaking of superheros and presidents. Here's a wee test for you. Good luck! (And happy weekend, friends.)
Principle in the type: "This ... old world so much needs men of strength, men of
virtue, men of faith and righteousness, men willing to forgive and forget." Gordon B. Hinckley
The funny side of politics? Oh Please!! It's a nightmare right now! .... wait a second. Here's something that might make you chuckle. Take a load off from the presidential race, and enjoy:
(And below? A little theory on opposites, and competition.)
Principle in the type: "Various schools of thought about forest management have
been followed through the years . . . a test plot was selected for a practice
known as release thinning.Foresters identified what they felt were
potentially the largest and healthiest young trees in the test plot, and then
they cut and pruned out the less-promising trees and the competing
undergrowth.The supposition was that by
removing much of the competition for water, sunlight, and soil nutrients, the
chosen trees would be released to
grow and develop in extraordinary ways. . . . After some years it became
obvious that just the opposite was occurring.Once freed from competition, the chosen trees became complacent.Instead of stretching upward toward the
light, they slowed their vertical growth, put out many lower limbs that
eventually became useless when the canopy closed, and became fatter.None of the trees in the test plot compared
in size or vitality to the trees that had to compete and overcome opposition in
order to survive and thrive."Marlin K. Jensen
Scandal actress, Kerry Washington, said she doesn't feel her character Olivia should be anybody's role model. "She's having an affair with a married man, who is President of the United States. And a murderer." Yeah, ya'think? story
Principle in the type: "Every one of you, sooner or later, must stand at
the forks of the road, and choose between personal interest and some principle
of right."Karl G. Maeser
