Uh-huh. Pull the other one, why don’t ya?

Speaking of umpires, changing the rules, and blind justice (those under 40 may need assistance in understanding historical references):

Once upon a time in the ol’ U.S. of A., the idea of impartial judgement was seen as the great goal of the practice of law, the height of accomplishment in all human affairs, both private and public. It was assumed that the answer to prejudice against those of different skin color or hair length was to stop it. That’s right, just stop it.

From the most serious treatments of the problem we have the famous quote from Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., who dreamed of the day when a person would be judged according to the content of their character , and not the color of their skin (or the length of their hair, or ethnic heritage).

On the lighter side, we have the story of the Alice’s Restaurant Thanksgiving Day “Massacree”, where Arlo and the rest of his hippie, liberal, Sen. McGovern-backing, long haired friends rejoiced at the stroke of luck they had when they encountered “blind” justice.

Somewhere along the way either the rules were changed or the umpires started calling it a different way. Now “blind justice” is seen as unfair and inadequate by many who influence the popular culture as well as our President.

Though roughly 40 years have passed by, I think the answer to prejudice is the same, just stop it. Trying to “make-up” for one injustice by assenting to another on somebody else of a different group is a dead end.

Arlo for Supreme Court.

Tell Mr. Limbaugh to call me and I will explain.

Confiscatory ad rates. Hah. Only a dirty socialist.
