Thank you for sharing your beautifully told story. I agree with you 100%.
My son spent a few days in jail (he was arrested for DUI in FL while sitting in a car with the engine running to have the AC on while waiting for his designated driver. It took me a while to get thru' the red tape to get him bailed out from NY)
He was deeply affected by the experience - not in a good way.
Unfortunately, there are many people who put their careers and finances ahead of truth and human injustice, and rationalize it in many ways. It is my opinion that way of thinking has cost mankind dearly.
Fortunately, there are also many people who believe that just because something is legal, or a rule, doesn't mean it's right.
It's because of people who took a stand against the "rules" that we have many of the freedoms we enjoy. We need more people to stand up for what is right in order to progress as a nation and as individuals.
JMHO as an old hippie trying not to become any more cynical.
Welcome, Concerned Papa - I look foward to reading your future posts here.
