I think most Americans awoke to the same news I did, Monday morning. Vice-President Cheney had accidentally shot a hunting companion. And I am sorry for the gentleman and pray he is not in pain. Now the man was in good condition in a Corpus Christi hospital, and oh by the way, it happened the day before yesterday. Then Tuesday morning, I read the gentleman had suffered an asymptomatic heart attack due to the bird shot being lodged in his heart, but not in an unsafe place, and the shot is round, so it cannot do any piercing damage. I also discovered that Mr. Cheney was not answering questions and had determined the night of the accident, the steps that all involved should take in revealing this unfortunate situation to the American public. And oh by the way, he sent the $7.00 check Monday, for a bird stamp to hunt in Texas, and the victim of the accident received the same warning, Mr. Cheney did about out of state hunting requirements. So, we can certainly see there is no favortism. Now, Wednesday morning, I understand that Mr. Cheney doesn't want to discuss it, but is going to speak with someone. The radio newscaster gave interesting insight to this situation, first quoting someone that stated this is simply "Classic Cheney," and his next comment was to the effect that Cheney prefers to be private and low profile. Okay, that's it! I've been quiet as long as I can.
If a person wants to be private and low profile, stay out of American politics! (duh!) I rarely use that expression, but it's the only one that fits here. And as far as "classic Cheney," no his behavior is "classic humanity." It isn't really fair to individaully assign that behavior and call it "Cheney." All humans want to react in the way that Mr. Cheney has been able to. What a privileged position to have authority without accountability. Oh yes, that is truly "classic humanity." We have all heard and probably most of us have said after being confronted about something we did that was wrong or bad or dumb. "Does the whole world have to know?" Well according to the Patriot Act, and the National Surveillance Agency, that answer would be yes; to the mere tax paying drones. Classic Human behavior and attitute are, in fact the same as; "Classic Cheney." It just isn't fair to single him out with that title. Although, there are few human beings that know that they will be found innocent of any wrong doing before the investigation, everyone would like to. And there are few human beings that know how to bring a crisis they have caused under control so quickly; but that would be our preference. The reality is, there are few human beings that want their worst moments broadcasted. There are few human beings that want all eyes on them, for a really bad move. And I truly believe every human being would like to "call their own shots" (pardon the pun) and create their own "spin" when it comes to answerability. But most of us just don't get away with behavior that is "Classic Humanity," nor have the luxury of what it is to be "Classic Cheney."
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Luke 8:17
