All of our elected officials (and most of the rest of us) should read JUSTICE FOR HEDGEHOGS by Ronald Dworkin. This philosophical essay starts from the premise that while the fox knows many things, the hedgehog knows one really big thing. In this remarkable book, the one big thing is what differentiates right from wrong. Dworkin develops a clear path, by explaining ethics, morality, freedom, liberty and equality. It is possible (actually it is mandatory) to live well and be good. One must know the rules.
