Shhhhh. We don’t talk about such things.
Are they better left unsaid? Why are we silent on so many issues of great importance?
What aren’t we talking about? Rep. Hastert in Illinois is one of a handful of Representatives having been on more than $300k worth of Junkets. I only mention Hastert specifically, in a spirit of we’ll clean up our state, you clean up yours. But, we won’t.
Other issues not much talked about: among the very few things we can have some pride in with regard to mainstream media has been giving some coverage to abuses of power. Of course that leads to further attacks on the media and its motives. What about the motives that lead us to abandon basic principles of law? Let’s not talk about that.
Let’s maintain a list of that which we will not talk about. Link to relevant stories, please.
