Have You Noticed?

It seems that "stands" and convictions and reactions to decisions are decided before the information is actually presented and the data collected. Have you noticed that whatever the news or issue is, the reaction is absolutely only dependant upon the political leaning already embraced by the individual? If a republican has presented an idea, a democrat is automatically opposed simply by virtue of party. If there is a black issue, Oprah and Al Sharpton are automatically involved, regardless. Black hip hop can use racial slur words, but whites cannot and if there is a black person involved, then it simply depends upon which end of the circumstances he or she is standing. I was shocked that Rev. Al thought the judgment against Michael Vick regarding the NFL was too extreme. If Michael Vick were white, Rev. Al would not even have been involved. Has Oprah reached out to the falsely accused Duke lacrosse team members? And we all know that was political. What ever happened to giving a false police report? The woman that accused these athletes has been removed from the responsibility of giving false information, and it's all landed upon the shoulders of the prosecutor. Not to say, he wasn't wrong, but was he the only one in the wrong . . . ?
Aren't you tired of the fact that the "facts" are totally dependant upon the political party, networking connections, or complexion of those presenting the facts? Surely the facts are deeper than that.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. a Proverb of Holy Scripture
