So many people deserve to be held out for scrutiny. And so many people believe they have a right to privacy even when they are doing their jobs in a public capacity.
Recently a funny quote from the Judge in some case having to do with insults and slander made the news. The case is Capasso v. Christmann But in a google of the case all you will find is a quote from the judge
“Inexplicably, [plaintiff’s counsel] was not struck by lightning during the course of his denial”
Funny, yes, but is it warranted? All we know is the judge thinks so.
I propose a Wall of Shame so that people involved can post the particulars, the opinions, their sides of the stories. Like Oscar Wilde is purported to have said “He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends”. Who? Who cares? It is just a clever insult.
We need to know the truth, and that is why I propose a wall of shame as a clearing house for such things. Tell the truth and own up. Are you heterosexual? Say so. Say: “I like sex”. Will the world end if you do? How about if you say “I don’t like sex”? How about if you say the word “sex”? Some day people will stop looking for dirt, and so people will stop hiding. There is dirt on everyone if you have the right ear for it. Will there come a day when whether or not people like sex is not news?
Seems to me all hypocrisy is grounded in religious faith, but that is a matter for another post.
