On agnosticism losing faith in times most crucial

They say Justice Is Blind....I say she's simply turning the other cheek.

In case you haven't set foot near a TV or radio within the last week, heres an interesting bit of newsfeed that proves George W. Bush isn't the only dumb american out there today.

According to several sources, mine specifically, at this point, being Slate Magazine, "Later this month, O.J. Simpson will appear on Fox in a two-hour special called If I Did It, Here's How It Happened. According to a news release, Simpson will explain "how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade."

Must....fight....urge....can't...overreact....

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Regardless, can anyone please tell me what the hell has happend to our country?

I mean besides the fact that:

- we supposedly elected Bush to one term, saw our mistake and somehow elected him to another term
- went into an unending war in Iraq over WMDs that don't exist
- turned the entire world's attention on us (mind you 99% of that attention was negative to begin with, now its just more negative)
- Have the largest economic defecit in a long time but can charge anywhere in the range of $2.25-$3.00 a gallon for gas, and allow an ex-starship captain, an obsessive compulsive washed-up comedian, and an ex-family tv star (plus god knows how many scantily clad women) to give away hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars nightly on shows like "Deal or No Deal?"
- Totally sold our morals to watch people eat pig testicals and pretend to be in love for the million dollar grandprize and 15min of fame and marriage (both of which end nearly simultaneously) on Reality TV shows (which thankfully are slowly declining)
- And totally ignore the fact that more children sit around and watch the smut that MTV and BET pump out on a daily basis during the most developmental stages in their lives instead of watching even 5min of news a day, and can more easily give you a discography of Christina Augilera then point out Canada on map

We must've made some kind of positive leap in the last decade.....right?

No.

No we have not, because now it is ok for someone who, while being aquitted of murder, was plainly guilty, to pick up the Bill of Rights and basically wipe their ass with it.

I mean, O.J. Simpson is basically doing 1 of 3 things here.

1) Rubbing our own stupidity in our faces.

He's guilty. He knows it. We know it. However the 12 or so people on the jury of his case, did not know it. Because of that he got off scot-free. Ok, big deal, our law system is not flawless, some might say. But, if this is essentially what he is doing, then he deserves to be an exception to the rule of "double jeopardy." Just because he knows he cannot be tried again does not mean he has the right to go on TV, or even write a book and say "Well, I mean, I didn't kill those people....but, and only but, if I HAD done it....here's basically what MIGHT have happend." I mean come on...are we really THAT stupid?

Apparently, otherwise the double jeopardy clause on the Bill of Rights wouldn't exist.

Lets simplify this for you.

You broke your mom's favorite lamp. She asked you who did it, and you blame it on your younger sibling. Your mom takes your word for it, and your scot-free. Now, just to make sure theres no suspicion on you, you take your mom's trust for granted and say "I didn't break the lamp, I promise, but if I DID break the lamp, let me tell you how it MIGHT have happend."

Now typically your mom would be like "Ok, you're definitly guilty, go to your room." and off you'd go to be punished.

But in the case, your mom has decided that once you have gone unpunished for doing something wrong, you cannot be punished for it in the future, even if you confess your crime....it would be alot of fun to get away with something then confess, now wouldn't it??

2) Someone has a guilty conscience

Maybe John Edwards was over O.J. Simpson's house for dinner one night and all of a sudden channeled a spirit? Maybe someone knows something they shouldn't know? Maybe, perhaps, he just realized that murdering your wife and her lover in cold blood is wrong afterall, and that he may, in fact, be guilty.

Regardless, this could be a feeble attempt of trying to justify his guilt by not necessarily admitting his guilt, but by coming clean in a sense and admitting how he WOULD of done it HAD he actually done it....which of course he did, but why would he go as far as to say that exactly?

Then again, looking back on number one, even if he had....would it matter?

3) "CSI:Miami" and "Deal or No Deal" are beating the ever-living shit out of FOX

November Sweeps...CSI (all 3) are in full swing, and the company that makes Deal or No Deal has put out 2 even more successful game shows "1 vs. 100" and "Show Me the Money". None of this, however, has happend on FOX....

Yah they have Family Guy and the Simpsons (the cartoon, not the murderer), and yah House may be so hip that his name ought to be changed to Cribs, but I mean their only other true income source, other then pure right-wing propoganda news, is American Idol, and unless Paula and Simon finally have intercourse on the judges table next season I don't even know if that'll spawn ratings....(attn FOX, I'm willing to sell you the rights that idea....lemme know...we'll do lunch).

So what better way to get ratings then to have O.J. Simpson come on the air and do 2 one-hour specials that re-enact his book (which is published by ReganBooks a subsidiary of News Corporation, which in turn also owns FOX) and basically stir up people like myself who cannot believe what they are watching, and people who are normally the subjects of interest on wonderful shows like "Cops" "Court TV" and "The Jerry Springer Show."

All I know is that I have found yet another reason to frown when I hear the words "America The Beautiful" and I will unfortunately HAVE to watch this program on FOX when it airs, because, if and when we pull our heads out of our asses, and finally see the light of day again, I want to make sure I've seen all the evidence that will very neatly and consicely be brought up against Mr.Simpson when true justice is finally being served.

Or, at least, be able to tell my grandkids that I was there when justice was no longer blind, but instead, turned her head away.
