Off the Cuff / My Other Journal

Regardless of the Truth (!)

My son tells me, in his state, (should I snitch and say NY?) a certain legislator's hubby got a 95 mph speeding ticket.

What a shame or should I say what a nasty thing to happen to a nice guy! But no, it isn't just that. There's more to it and it is rather nightmarish.

In our world of murky moral grays, the speeding ticket got transformed into a parking violation. Such magic!

I can surely understand that we should be charitable to our law-breakers, especially if they belong with the members of the ruling party, since nothing is really black and white in this world.

It is our fault that we want to relish a black-and-white tale, with villains to loathe, victims to pity, injustice to condemn. Everything should be the opposite, like: gray tales, victims to loathe, villains to applaud, justice to condemn.

This reminds me of another case, when a certain preacher was indicted of defrauding his followers out of their savings. He raised his hands and chanted.
"Regardless of the truth, Hallelujah!"
