Tout Your Own Flavor of Hypocrisy

Have you ever wondered why people that are against the death penalty for criminals are pro-abortion for the innocent? And of course the converse of that? What about the people that want the government to meddle in the content of fast food, but want freedom to use marijuana? Lately there has been the large outcry against drilling for oil and the oil industry's contribution to "Global Warming", but when the technology for a carbon dioxide scrubber is proposed, the protagonists cry foul, saying that it takes emphasis away from the cause of the problem....kind of like abortion takes away focus on the problem of sexual activity outside of a marriage relationship....oh, I get it? My favorite flavor of hypocrisy is the Hollywood elite. They parade themselves in the media like a bunch of peacocks, then cry foul, when the are constantly followed by stalkers and paparazzi. Granted, I wouldn't want that kind of attention, but I'm not a publicity hound. Those that are....publicity hounds, that is....shouldn't be surprised, when the media pursues them relentlessly to catch them in some kind of revealing situation, in order to sell their media product. No suprise, I guess. People that live in glass houses, etc.

We, as human beings, are far from perfect and can only attempt at perfection in this life. What is perfection? How can one be consistently true? I think that we have to discharge any thought of the end justifying the means (see previous commentary). When we are following truth, we are adhering to a consistent value, a true value; there is no backtracking, no hypocrisy. When we depart from the truth, then our end falls short and we are left without promise. Hypocrisy is then, its own reward, no more, no less. Everyone else suffers the diminishment as well. For now this is Just an Observation, without guile, without hypocrisy....

Why Haven't I Ever Received a "J.D. Powers & Associates" Award?

Have you ever wondered who gives out the J.D. Powers & Associates awards? I thought that it was some non-profit, or humanitarian organization that honor good corporate citizens for their company's products. Or at least, a Consumer Reports type organization that surveys all products for their redeeming qualities.

Their awards program amounts to a certification program conducted in behalf of their clients, with the information gathered independently.....but who pays for all this? The client! Does this means that if they get a negative survey, it will be released to the public for their scrutiny?.....H-No! Do they work the survey until they get a positive result? You be the judge, but for me, this is just an observation......
