I'm a little behind, I admit: just finished episode ten of West Wing's season four, the one where the Whiffenpoofs get snowed in at the White House, Danny Concannon shows up in a Santa suit, and Toby sort of reconnects with his father.
Also in this episode Will Bailey, up and coming Deputy Communications Director gets tested. The President, Chief of Staff, and Communications Director (three pretty powerful dudes) throw a curve ball issue at Bailey to see if he'll respond by "speaking truth to power".
Never mind the political particulars of the imaginary West Wing. Life on our side of the television's screen has a good supply of its own drama. And I wonder, that being considered, how truthful are we to the powers that be?
That's not to say that powerful guys are necessarily life's villains, but truth be told it can't hurt to keep even them accountable to the way of love. Go ahead. Use your voice.
