Three Easy Pieces

In the news…

A T-ball coach pays one of his players $25 to hurt an disabled 8-year old teammate so he wouldn’t have to put the child in the game.

Using taxpayer’s dollars, Laura Bush travels to Africa and discovers life is rough for impoverished women living with HIV, and — despite overwhelming evidence that it not only doesn’t work, but makes things worse — lectures to them about abstinence.

Meanwhile, in the White House, the President continues to avoid questions regarding Rove’s deliberate leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame, made in order to get back at her husband for having the intelligence to point out that, in fact, Iraq didn’t have weapons of mass destruction and therefore, no real reason (besides oil) to invade.

So many issues here, yet, is there a greater evil? What’s worse?
– Practicing bigotry through exclusion and violence?
– Being clueless?
– Promoting a political agenda despite the danger and death it causes?
Cronyism?

A person could go mad in the debate.
