<DIV>Doug Wilson's posting, "Reference: Hostility and Discrimination,"
subheading "Topic: Moscow Diversity Cleansing" <dougwils.com> might
best be summarized by the following parable.
<DIV>
<P>The Idaho State Highway patrol is obliged to arrest speeding motorists.
A trooper parked beside the road is passed by three cars exceeding the
65 mph speed limit. Car A was going 66 mph. Car B was going
70. Car C was ripping down the road at 105 mph. When the driver of
Car C noticed the trooper, he tooted his horn and flipped the trooper
off. Encouraged by the driver's bon vivant attitude, his five middle-aged,
male passengers dropped their trousers and plastered their
wrinkled, toad-colored asses against the car's windows in a further
display of disdain for the law and legal authority. </P>
<P>After a long and dangerous chase (with additional backup and tack
strips laid on the highway) the trooper was finally able to force the
driver of Car C to pull over. The trooper approached Car C and asked to
see the driver's license. Driver C blustered, "I don't need no
stinking government license. God taught me
how to drive." The trooper was not impressed with this
response. Things began to look serious for Driver C. His
middle-aged passengers shamefacedly hiked up their pants and start to
quiver. The plump bearded fellow in the backseat actually began to
cry. Things weren't so darned funny any more. They turned to Driver C for
moral support -- which in and of itself was laughable -- but the best defense he
could muster was offered in a sniveling tone, "But why did you
pull me over when all those other guys were speeding too? It ain't
fair! I'm being singled out. I'm being rail-roaded, I'm being
discriminated against. You're a meanie!" </P>
<P>The old "everybody-else-is-doing-it-so-why-can't-we" was not a very
compelling defense to the trooper, the judge, or the jury. (Driver C had
recklessly driven through their town one time too many leaving cringing
pedestrians and damaged vehicles in the wake of his braying guffaws
and horn-tooting recklessness.) </P>
<P>Moral:</P>
<P>Necessity is the Mother of Invention, <BR>and its Father, a
bold Man of Chest.<BR>But adjudicators examine intentions (and
financial records)<BR>And whining is not a defense.</P>
