I agree with you, after some reflection, on the high ground issue. That should be excused to some extent since because I believe it is the outrage speaking. |
I understand the outrage, I feel it too.
I agree with the law being upheld but upholding the law is easy compared to ensuring justice. The child death was due to stupidity, completely. Locally a six year old fell into the Columbia. I don't know the details of what happened. But in a sense it was completely avoidable. So how do we compare one avoidable death with another. Who's going to draw that line in the sand to say what is OK and what is not?
I'm sorry.. a tough thread for all of us. And I suppose, I should watch my own personal high ground.
