Re the recent ad campaign by Gillette using the #MeToo theme: Generalizing from small numbers in science is called "bad science." In social analysis it is called "bigotry." Any company asking its customers to identify with Harvey Weinstein is called "stupid."
"Dignity. Purpose. Self-control. Independence. Above all, deep relationships with other people. Those are the things that you want for your children. They're what our leaders should want for us, and would want if they cared."
These are the sensitive and heartfelt words of Tucker Carlson, a guy I had to Google, who is the FOX replacement for O'Reilly at the 8:00 pm weekday slot. They are worth reading again. Carlson, a self--declared conservative, seems to believe that the government is responsible for citizen integrity and the betterment of interpersonal relationships. These are family, social and religious qualities, not political. Fortunately, Gillette wants to help too.
Expanding the congregation is one thing, expanding access to the pulpit is quite another.
