Watch your thoughts, for they become words;
Watch your words, for they become actions;
Watch your actions, for they become habits;
Watch your habits, for they become your character;
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

This quote, attributed variously to Frank Outlaw, Mahatma Gandhi, and Lao Tze, can apply equally well to to societies as it does to individuals. Take, for instance, gun crimes.

Much attention has been paid to Mitt Romney's comments that culture accounted for the difference in prosperity between the Israelis and Palestinians. However, in no way were his statements gaffes.

A gaffe is an unintentional error, usually one that causes embarrassment. However, this is not an error that will cause embarrassment, particularly to Romney's target audience.
