2) But it has layers. There is no simplistic sentimental exculpatory bit: there is penance, there is sacrifice, there is morally accidental Instrumentalist validation, and...other things I won't spoil.

1) Been thinking about the movie, "Passengers," with Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Sheen, and [surprise cameo]. It's gotten a lot of grief for the central moral Crime at its heart, and justly so: it's a BIG one!

It’s amazing that Washington DC can achieve its lowest crime rate in 30 years when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is experiencing its highest crime rate in history.

No matter how many times I hear this, it moves me right to my core! It saddens me that these words are still so timely, but it heartens me that there are still people out there who would speak them!

This whole thing stinks like an open-air Louisiana abattoir in August!

Can't dismiss that scenario. Wish I could, but I can't.

"Idolize?" Hardly! More a matter of the utility they present themselves as offering, given the inherent fallibility of humans, and *especially* of the sorts of humans who go in for politics. Best one can expect is to find the best of the worst, really.
