Who Are Our Icons?

This interesting article gives us a bit of history about the leaders of the past. They were not always captains of industry, but they were the moral leaders of their societies; they received much but they also gave much. One could look to them and know that they had a strong moral code by which to live and what they stood for in their society. Who are our leaders today? What do they stand for and what would they sacrifice if confronted with a moral challenge? Too often, they co-operate with authoritarian states in an effort to gain market share; they ignore slave labor so that they can squeeze out a bit more profit. And, can we view them as having a true vested interest in our nation, or are they the proud proclaimers of being internationalists? If the latter, what do they really stand for and how can they be trusted in protecting what is important in your life? Food for thought. https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-the-old-establishment-can-teach-the-new-tech-elite-11600440864?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=1
