This past week has been a painful reminder; This life has never been about what is right and what is wrong, it has never been about the Democrats and Republicans. It really is a struggle between the “Haves and Have Nots” Just as in the trial of Christ, the death of socrates, legal system justice for the poor, and hundreds of other examples throughout our existence, the status quo are not held to the same rules that apply to the rest of us.
Be a good boy and don’t upset the apple cart and all will be just fine.
