In loving, living memory, John Melançon 1928 – 2007
Wisdom is the ability to distinguish your business from what's none of your business.
A community's water supply is the community's business, not Dannon's or Nestle's. Consensual sex is the business of the participants, not any religious body. Conversely, the living standards of the members of a society are that society's collective business. Of course it's not as simple as I'm trying to make it sound.

(I've called this "decisions should be made on the lowest level practical.")
