Oh Medusa I cannot believe that all of any occupation are one thing or another.

Just because Ken Delay and Bernie Madoff were/are evil does not mean all people of commerce are evil.

Just because teachers get caught abusing children does not make all teachers abusers.

Just because some soldiers kill civilians does not mean all of them would do that.

Just because some cops end up "on the take" or some doctors prescribe medication that is bad for their patients does not mean all cops are crooked or all doctors do not care about their patients.

All of these occupations and people in those occupations "gone bad" have been in the news lately. But a person's occupation does not make them good or bad. That happens long before they chose an occupation.

Our politicians...just like our teachers, our soldiers, our cops and our doctors...are a reflection of the society from which they come.

I didn't ask you to believe it. I said what I feel. I don't presume to speak for anyone else.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Okay...then I feel very sad for you that you have such negative feelings about a group of people based on occupation.

But I understand it is how you feel.

No need to feel sad for me. I'm free of false trust and that makes me happy.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Well....can't help what I feel!

I just feelbad karma to paint a whole group as good or bad. Sort of gives permission to say...all people from Illinois are crooked or all lawyers are ambulance chasers or all people who do computer stuff are geeks.

Absolutes are dangerous and limiting in my opinion!

I cant wait to see the list of Conservatives or Republicans that are OK in ES's mind. For that matter what she thinks of those who actualy Believe in the United States of America's Constitution and what it stands for.

Wow. We're talking about you again. Interesting how you do that.

I expressed how I feel but not to spark controversy or to invoke sympathy. As for racking up bad karma, we should all try not to focus on the straw in another's eye when there's a beam in our own.

Exactly my point!
