One Upon a Time Far Far from Justice
Mar. 21, 2008 Posted in Greenboroisms
Let's be fair! Not every Greensboro police person is corrupt nor is every fireman or politician. When the aroma of corruption wafts into the air, "air wick" is not going to clean it up. Cleanup is going to be a distasteful task that no one wants but it must be done!
In today's mass media or courtroom few of us could prove our innocence. Of course if you are a darling of the mass media that premise is false.
Is there something wrong, did some one do something wrong, how are we going to correct this wrong? Well it time to see if our city or county officials will take off the training wheels and deal with the problems that may be out there. They asked for the job even ran for it!
Well baby, you are elected now! This is your problem. You own it. The tar baby is in the room. No matter what you do it's going to stick with you.
As a voter I figure I have a 50% chance of seeing a politician actually do right. This is assuming the politician is not corrupt. I might not agree with the politicians action. But his action is better than inaction. If you will stand around and do nothing then anything can be done to you.
Justice deferred is not justice but revenge. Sort carefully and be prepared to change your mind as facts emerge. You are not perfect nor will you render perfect decisions. One should not hold public office if one can not make decisions.
Hiding behind investigations or consultant reports is not how to handle the problems before you.
