Have you ever watched a news report about a robbery or other crime where they include clear video of the incident? They narrate the video with words like “alleged” and “suspected” so all of us watching do not presume guilt of the person who is in the video, clearly breaking the law. In America we are lucky in that we are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Usually, a few days later, this individual will go into court and plead “not guilty”. Is it just me or does that sound completely absurd? Our world could be a much different place if we didn’t teach shortcuts and loopholes. Create a personal rule to take responsibility for your actions. If you mess up…fess up. The legal system is so polluted with loopholes and administrative defenses that it is even possible today to get away with something, even when you have been filmed doing it. After a while, the guy or gal in the video will begin to believe their innocence. Crazy world we live in, right? Someone should sell tickets. It is very easy to make mistakes, the hardest part is admitting it. #tuesdaysgonewiththewind
