Too Much Sincerity
“A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal” This tidbit is attributed to Oscar Wilde.There is no record who he stole it from.
He could be talking about modern times in Georgia. Yesterday, the honest to a fault person was Matthew Cardinale. Today, it is Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine. The person known at “Ox” is currently running for Governor of Georgia.
For some reason, the state Insurance Commissioner is elected in Georgia. There is a proposal to make the Insurance Commissioner an appointed position. Some of the Ox antics seem to “insure” that he is the last person elected to this position.
In 1993, Ox spoke at a meeting of auto insurance people. He said, regarding bribes campaign contributions, “I’m the incumbent. You all are going to give me money because you’re afraid not to,” .
There is a sincere report from Kenya. It seems like the lions are starving, and zebras are being rounded up to feed to them. There might be a shortage of Christians to feed to the lions.
