But no
matter how uncivilized and uncouth someone is, this does not give you the right
to treat him with less than a modicum of respect; after all, they are human beings.
Once you allow any precedent without challenging it, you encourage it to be
repeated. The American public have been subjected to a private, off-the-record
conversation between Trump and Billy Bush (a nephew to George W. Bush) talking locker-room
trash. See: Trump recorded
having extremely lewd conversation about women . Here we have what both individuals
assumed were off-the-record comments from 11 years ago. Is this the world we
want to live in? Where any stray recommend made to anyone at any time might wind
up on the Internet? Common decency would answer: “No!”
The problem
is this: If this world allows anyone
to be shamed by comments which were intended to be private, then there is no
point in continuing civilized society. Some of Trump’s supporters are
calling on Valdimir Putin to nuke the USA after Hillary Clinton
is elected president on November 8, 2016. Perhaps with a billion of the world’s
population killed, a few people might wake up to a fact: When I fuck
someone over, I will one day, somewhere get fucked myself. “As ye sow, so shall
ye reap.”
