Michael Phelps, Hypocrisy, & American Drug Policy
I have absolutely nothing against Jews (though my hatred of Israel is probably becoming well-known around here)--the comparison could have been made concerning any oppression, such as that of the Christians under early Rome. It was just a famous and recent example, that was all. I don't have a politically correct bone in my body, so I suppose I am rude and insensitive, to a degree.
I've been thinking, and you have a point about how it was unfair of me to condemn his abjectness so strongly--it would be a hard position to be in. I think I'm just frustrated about our social climate in which it's considered an offence, and not so much with him, upon review. He's just a guy who unfortunately lives in a society that condemns what he did. He pretty much did what anyone understandably trying to save their ass would do.
I do, however, disagree about the accusation that civil unrest is created just to stir up trouble. It's a response to injustice, and the long and ardous red tape of the "democratic" process doesn't get very far very fast.
