Election day has me thinking about winners and losers. Efforts to encourage noncompetitive games for children hasn’t done much to change human nature. I’m not very concerned about the evils of competition. The thing that is most important is how you play the game—athletic, political, economic. Tomorrow morning, whether winners or losers, the true statesmen will put their egos aside and measure their words and actions according to what serves the best interest of the public.
