It is more than likely that nearly everyone on planet earth has heard the phrase, "You are what you eat." People generally seem to understand and accept the phrase as a worthy piece of advice. It simply means that what we eat has a direct effect on our health.
Well, it is similar truth for our moral health that our moms always told us to, "Pick our friends carefully." Because, sooner or later we become just like them. Whether it's becoming a professional person, or a street person or anywhere in between. Guess what? The same is also true of our politics and the people we support. We become like them. Please, when you support a politician, a political party or a PAC, make sure it's for someone whom you would be proud of!
