Character

(Community Matters) hmm, I’m still thinking about the young man the other day who told me he sent a couple of his workers to Houston to help remove fallen trees and limbs. Immediately I thought, wow, that’s quite admirable.  Then a friend asked if they were charging. He answered, “of course” and that he was taking a cut.  I sat on that for a bit, then couldn’t help it.  Even though he was a guest at my table, I told him I felt there was something wrong with that.  His friend concurred.  

Why was I not surprised later in the evening when he expressed support for Gov Palin?  I know this is a horrible association on my part but it is true.
