The Mills prayer for your enemies


Lord, enlighten thou our enemies. Sharpen their wits, give acuteness to their perceptions, and consecutiveness and clearness to their reasoning powers: we are in danger from their folly, not from their wisdom; their weakness is what fills us with apprehension, not their strength...
- John Stuart Mills

I saw this in Brad DeLong's blog. It is what we hope for as we enter the last few months before the election.
