I cannot believe Will Cain made that response about poverty this morning as if those in poverty should be thankful that they are not as poor as generations before. The job market at this time is terrible, I don't care what numbers you have. When you cannot get a job with a college education, when you are told your experience is not good enough maybe people will understand how hard it is to come up and come out. Those in the working class and middle class need greater pay a person cannot live off the minimum wage in most states let alone have a family. It is very elitist to believe that the wealth generated benefits all, because the wealth generated in this country never comes back to the people. What about the people? What about caring that all have food, all have shelter and all have a place to call their own. In this country people truly do not care about those who are struggling because if they did Americans would not be suffering. I am not calling for everyone to be wealthy but if we truly care we would have the heart to really help our own.
This morning (4/20/2012) I heard another silly proposition come out of the Soledad O’Brien morning news program: justice has nothing to do with morality. Both Soledad and the other news person (“Sunny”) agreed: justice has nothing to do with morality. (Story about Zimmerman.)
Justice is a moral issue. Justice rewards what is good and punishes what is wrong: that is its function. Right and wrong are moral issues, determined by an inflexible standard, the law, which is based solely on morality: this act is wrong; this act is right. The function of justice is to give what is exactly due. If the work is morally right, justice gives a reward exactly proportionate to the right which has been done. If the work is morally wrong, justice gives a punishment exactly proportionate to the wrong which has been done. Our society has been deluded into thinking right and wrong are flexible. They are not, as any one charged with enforcing the law can tell you. If the law is not enforced, it is not because there is no absolute standard of right and wrong, but is either the exercise of mercy (delaying justice; relieving suffering) or is dereliction of duty, itself a moral wrong.
Perhaps someone can get Soledad to generate a newsflash: justice is the handmaid of morality, rewarding what is right, punishing what is wrong.
