Today is the 143rd birthday of General Douglas MacArthur.
I believe he was a quality thinker and, sometimes, a truly great wordsmith.
When he suggested that moral decline can either be countered by a a spiritual awakening or cause national disaster, he could have been talking about what I see in Australia now.

I see a loss of trust and real authority in nearly all Australian institutions because of profound dishonesty and selfishness.
The moral foundations of religions are a possible solution.
What MacArthur called “a better world ….. based on faith and understanding.”
