As we have seen, his opinions and positions are largely shaped by a knowledge of history, practical, first-hand experience, and sound judgment - all of which are sorely lacking in just about every elected official I can think of. And where prejudice enters into his views (as it does into all our views), his seems to be informed by the political philosophy that gave rise to the radical experiment that produced the Constitution of the United States, tempered by the social evolution that has kept our idealism - and our respect for the individual - alive.
If nothing else, we need another skydiving official to wipe the image of George H.W. Bush from my mind.
