Looking Both Ways

When you cross the street, you need to look both ways. In the U.S., looking both ways means looking first to the left. The traffic that poses the most immediate threat to the pedestrian comes from that direction. But when I'm in the U.K., a different traffic pattern requires that I look first to the right.

American evangelicalism gives every appearance of having been conditioned to look to the Left for danger. It might be good for us to remember that it is wise also to look to the Right.
