What Are We Trying To Say?

We admit that at times we are a little difficult to follow. We don't talk to you like you're a six year old. We don't think we should - however whenever we don't it's hard to follow our line of reasoning. For that we apologize and this is one of those times.

So we will try to be more linear in ten (10) steps. Starting at:
Step 1: We were sick this weekend. It was most likely food poisoning.
Step 2: We've been warned that eating food "found" in the refrigerator can make us sick when it's date of packaging is unknown. (Old food can make you sick so don't eat it).
Step 3: The New York Times reported on a 22 year old woman who was left paralyzed by a homemade hamburger. We are like this 22 year old woman.
Step 4: Her issues are our issues. She blames the slaughterhouse for her injury. She has an attorney. She complains in the video that she wished she could sue someone. We don't wish to sue anyone and we are not paralyzed.
Step 5: The Minnesota Department of Health had the hamburger analyzed and discovered disturbing information about the meat and how meat is made.
tainted meatStep 6: The slaughterhouse would not give the US Government or the New York Times information about the meat saying its a "trade secret."
Step 7: We believe the New York Times because the slaughterhouse refuses to speak to the paper, the government or the public.
Step 8: Companies are considered individuals to the legal system. We think the company guilty until proven innocent.
Step 9: Director Roman Polanski arrested in Switzerland for rape of a child. CBS News Producer Robert "Joe" Halderman arrested for attempted blackmailing. We think them guilty until proven innocent.
Step 10: Fairness is important. We should make every effort to be fair. All should be considered innocent until proven guilty.

This sucks because it goes against our worst judgment. Big businesses, blackmailers, rapists are bad and a charge of criminal actions is sufficient evidence of guilt for us. To quote former Attorney General Ed Meese: "...you don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect." If they're not guilty then they'll be found not guilty on some legal loophole and get away with their crimes.

That's what we believe and that's wrong. Like former Attorney General Ed Meese if we were a suspect, as he was, we're innocent. It doesn't matter what the charge is we didn't do it. No matter what evidence may be presented against us. We didn't do it. What's what we're trying to say - today! We reserve the right to contradict ourselves.
