One of my favorite movies is Caddyshack, especially the interaction between Rodney Dangerfield’s Al Czervik and Ted Knight’s Judge Elihu Smails. It was the slobs versus the snobs and the way Smails looks down on Czervik reminds me. of the way that my old law firm’s managing attorney looked down on me (sorry, Lois). While trying to keep the word of his niece’s loose morals secret, Judge Smails tells caddy Danny Noonan that he has sent boys younger than Danny to the gas chamber because he felt he owed it to them and simply asked: “The most important decision you can make right now is what do you stand for, Danny? Goodness... or badness?” While we’re not sending anyone to the gas chamber as a favor, we have to decide what we stand for, like retirement plan providers. We have a choice to be good or bad, we need to choose wisely.
