PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES, TRUST AND SIN
A good argument does not mean it will make for good policy if implemented so why place to much emphasis on the debates in the first place? Do you want a President who takes the time to think things through or do you want an eloquent speaker who possesses a gift of gab? Be careful what you wish for you may get it!
In the debates or in any argument or discussion, especially if you are talking to an attorney or attorney-type individual, remember, I know you know what you THINK I said but what you do not realize is that what you heard me say may not be what I meant!
At the end of the day odds are there is too much complex information to compute so you have to have faith and put your trust in someone or something. The problem is we tend to only see what we WANT to see and believe only what we WANT to believe. It is the path of least resistance when thinking things through. Nothing anybody can do or say can ever change this character flaw of human nature.
These days when it comes to trust only one in fifty Americans trust doctors, lawyers or politicians. Only 1/3 of us trust real estate people and only one in 100 of us trust car dealers and advertising people. So, with what you know today, who can you trust? Government? The news media? Judges? Preachers? Teachers? Police?
Today, most anything goes! Everything that used to be a sin can now be turned inside out by an attorney who can talk you, or as some would say, confuse you into considering it as a "temporary affliction" or disease!
There are no good excuses but there are people who BELIEVE they may have a good excuse, yet they fool only a few folks. The best excuses are, "I don't know" or "I don't remember" or "That wasn't me." All excuses may work temporarily.
In more formal situations people use excuses like, "Not to my knowledge", or "I don't recall" or "To the best of my recollection". Remember, God forgives but many people do not forgive.
Life may only be half as good as the movie would be so humor may be the best medicine for your mental health. Just lighten up! Do not take yourself too seriously. Life is a laugh. Anything less misses the point of our very existence.
