And I would say this is for one reason; we (none of us) have the time or inclination for deep consideration and examining of evidence. We want simple, slogan solutions (which don't exist and thus never work).
Guilty or innocent is never true. Everyone is slightly guilty and slightly innocent. Shades of gray - far too complex for modern society.
Rubbish. If I went to your door, you opened it and I beat you senseless with a baseball bat for no reason except I hated that coloured wig you used to wear, I'd be guilty, plain and simple. Obviously there are many more instances when the issues are very ambiguous, but don't act like a tabloid hack and try to come up with a black and white argument for shades of grey. Don't simplify relativism, there's a dear. |

I've been having an ongoing net battle with a well known journalist who accepts the Savile allegations as 'proved'. His latest insult to me was to 'not leave your brains at the door'.
My main complaint to him..ignored in the most ignorant fashion..is that charges are arising and may against others and because Savile is dead, it isn't an excuse to accept allegations as proof. Even Waxie Maxie deserves to be considered innocent (yes..even he!)
as usual everyone..and most of the media..are frightened to point out the emperor has no clothes on. |
