Underlying Messages

[ristin]

I thought I was pretty clear in my last post, but apparently not. The message of the last post was "people are innocent until proven guilty" and when someone gets accused of something, you should check for yourself first before buying the stories you get told. And that doesn't mean checking to see if other people are making the same accusation, it means checking if there is any proof from the accused that substantiates the accusations.

I apologize that this was presented too subtly for some readers, the fault for that was mine.

So, here's a question on "innocent until proven guilty" Surveillance video.

Also, a murderer can possibly be found innocent if he has good enough lawyers. In essence, money can buy your innocence if you have it.

It should read "Innocent until be proven guilty, unless you have really bad lawyers that you didn't really pay for." But in actuality most people misquote that. It's "Innocent until proven guilty, in a court of law."

Lastly, by believing that, it allows any other politician seeking office against someone who says that about anything in regards to behavior, as an open invitation. In this case, there would be plenty of evidence to suggest that Obama is not forthcoming. Whether or not it's true evidence remains to be seen, but that's the burden of proof, and in order to convict a plantiff, a prosecutor would only need to introduce doubt that the person is innocent.
