A friend alerted me to a Focus on the Family radio interview with Douglas Gresham (step-son of C.S. Lewis) about a month ago, where he made one rather sound and sobering comment:
Douglas Gresham: "...but you see, we look in today's world, we look at our presidents, our prime ministers, our princes and our potentates and we describe them as our leaders, but they're not. They're merely our rulers. The leaders are the people who change the minds and stimulate the imaginations of the public, whether children or adults. That means the movie makers, the people who make TV shows, the entertainment people in the business. And that means, that if you're going to lead the world, as the movie people and the TV people do, you'd better choose very carefully in what direction you're going to lead."
