A Tree Is to a Forest as . . . (Updated) 0
. . . this whole who-shot-john over Rick Warren is to governance.
And forests have lots of trees and other stuff. Little trees, big trees, rotten trees, saplings, underbrush, poison ivy, snakes, bugs, and bears (and, given the bears, no Colberts).
One of the annoying habits amongst us lefties is a tendency to get all worked up over not much of anything and forget the larger goal. It’s like those churches which split over minor stuff, like what kind of candles shall be on the altar, and forget that altar candles are peripheral even to peripheries.
Knock it off, already.
Addendum:
Some food for thought.
