RE: Pages from the Diary of a Quiet Boy (II): Lost In the Woods?
Yup, that's a good one.
Philosophically speaking... ANY "authority" that somehow holds itself above the laws/ideals it was created to serve.
Now, at a deeper level... do I blame "the authority" simply because it happens to be "an authority" or do I blame the part/segment of humanity that's inherently manipulative and sees any opening as an opportunity to exploit for gain?
Laws/rules... do they make sense? If we don't have them, we can argue they'd never be broken, because there ain't any. But is it inherently "right" for someone to shoot and kill their neighbor for borrowing a lawnmower without asking? Does having a law that says "stealing is a crime" make sense?
A lot of this stuff becomes quite ambiguous...
ZAP..not ambiguous at all.
