How to tell the good guys from the bad guys

[laststeamtrain]

<snip>

Whether we are a CEO of a major multinational company trying to figure out whom we can trust to give us important strategic advice, a mom or dad trying to make friends with other PTA parents, or a teenager trying to figure out how to get through adolescence, the formula is the same. If we want to be better people, build a better community, and a better country, we must carefully guard whom we choose to be in our inner circle of confidants, and carefully guard whom we choose to run our governments and hold important offices in our corporations, schools, churches and communities. And, once we decide, we must never be afraid to re-evaluate our decisions, and in fact, be careful to reassess on a regular basis throughout our lives.

Maybe a bit simple-minded but basically correct I think.
