ELUSIVE GOODNESS Should I no longer hang a work of art from the readiness of my neck? Should I rather wear the current fashion: tattered jeans, their holes a ploy to brother those among us worn and torn? When goodness or compassion challenge ways and means toward honored reputation, strange are the measures we concoct. Look to the highest office, in twenty seventeen, oozing its duplicity in wily shuttles. Oh, deception! Thy name is Dolos.
