Bigots, radio mics, and the power of words

My friend and Baptist pastor Alan Wilson blogs  as Coastal Pastor: he wrote this morning…

Here are two questions in the light of Mr Brown’s stumble.

1. How often do we flatter people to their faces while hiding a deep dislike, or even contempt for them in our hearts?
2. How would we fare if we discovered this evening that all the words we speak today had been broadcast by a hidden radio mic?

Read the rest at Coastal Pastor… but for me Alan’s two concluding questions say more than all the media jamboree.
