Otherwise, there's no hope of something better. But lately I just feel overwhelmed by blatant social injustice. The latest: the management in the city where I live just decided to grant amnesty to several city workers who stole all kinds of equipment- chain saws, leaf blowers etc.- from their place of employment. Not only will they not be investigated and prosecuted, they all get to keep their jobs! Meanwhile, some poor vagrant type is likely to do some jail time for stealing a candy bar from a conveniance store. There are a few messages here. The one, more obvious, is that the higher social status defines the behavior. The lower the status the more likely the behavior will be perceived as relevant to character defect. This is an illusion maintained by some at the expense of others. The other message is- and let me know if it's just me- that it's okay to steal, as long as it's from the taxpayers because the people in power, elected and otherwise, are have given their blessing- and counting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
