Letter to the editor: We must judge carefully, honestly

If we were to believe the media, et al., we would think that inclusiveness is a fundamental moral imperative. On the contrary, every just society depends for its existence on the willingness of its members to judge and exclude those who seek to erode and destroy that society.

This is not a trivial affair. History is full of examples where otherwise good societies have descended into unspeakable horrors. It happens a lot, it happens fast and it can happen anywhere. A just society is a fragile thing.

So judge carefully, judge honestly, but judge you must.

Do not fear to stand up to those who tell you to be nonjudgmental. There is nothing nonjudgmental about them; they are judging you. They are trying to bully you into giving your approval … perhaps because they know they don’t deserve it.
