abstract thought

some politician...doesn't matter who or what...recently got in trouble for racial slurs he made some 20 years ago...thing is...not a whole lot of people saw this as a real issue 20 years ago...here is my point...if drinking tea becomes illegal next week...is some fucker going to show up at my house with a permit to take me off to jail because of what i drank this morning...i am not justifying any ones poor behavior...but what i am saying is...try to develop the capacity for abstract thought...believing that you have all the information you need to make a decision...is a really fucked up way to go !!!
