anyone that has not lived a socially and culturally active, exposed life while making many mistakes and misjudgments and learned from that life and made corrections in their nature and personality is not worthy of public service.

I further contend (although I often falter) that it's not my job to openly judge others unless I've been duly appointed to do so.....

I also have to try to ask myself if I'm ready to accept responsibility for the potential effects of my open judgments. For example, young people are committing suicide every day due to bullying on social media and people charged with crimes - but not convicted - have their lives ruined due to public condemnation prior to trial.

We collectively can do better.......
