The older I get, the more convinced I become that so much of what is wrong in this world can be credited to sheer stupidity. That can be called nothing less than evil. Burroughs is novelist who happens to be a drug addict. During a drunken party in Mexico one night, he undertook to play William Tell - he used a pistol to shoot a glass off his wife's head. He put a bullet in her brain instead.
Stupidity is so evil that it kills.
We are not without responsibility. I always remember a series of interviews conducted by a wealthy industrialist as he searched for a new chauffeur. The third man got the job. The epistle of James has already established that God does NOT lead us into sin, and common sense knows that we will face times of testing. Back to linguistics one more time.
