The marquees of many elementary and middle public schools in Richmond and Columbia counties carry a "character word." What a great idea! I trust that the lesson plans for that week emphasize the word as well. Better yet, parents should make that word part of the table talk at home.

Among Dana Carvey's most brilliant sketches on "Saturday Night Live" were his dead-perfect impersonations of President George H.W. Bush, which made a permanent contribution to America's political language. "Not gonna do it!" Carvey-as-Bush would say. "Wouldn't be prudent!

The first commitment is to be a good person in the world. To do this the Odu Ifa says we must "speak truth, do justice, be kind and do not do evil." Moreover, the [Husia] says we must "love justice, hate wrong-doing and always do what is good." And what is good is Maat as expressed in a life of the Seven Cardinal Virtues: truth, justice, propriety, harmony, balance, reciprocity and order.
