I respect that.<br /><br />One problem with that though is each situation is different, so your standards can rule out people who are quite qualified but don't match your criteria.<br /><br />Where it becomes dangerous in my eyes is not when there is an effort (however flawed) to ensure a high quality of people for leadership, but when the standards are used to weed out people you disagree with on non-core issues.Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12865044615971862266noreply@blogger.com
