The White Wigs Were Douche Bags
This is the foundation of our freedoms, see our Founding Fathers…they were douche bags. They were the outcasts. Just because you’re speech is accepted today doesn’t mean it will be tomorrow or when you’re 80 – but it doesn’t matter. You’re free to be the douche bag you want to be, period.
I learned an amazing story in college. One of the defense attorney’s for John Gacey was a relative to a criminal justice classmate. She invited the two attorneys to campus to speak as well as the lead detective who tracked and lead in prosecuting Gacey. The defense team were asked repeatedly why they defended a man that they knew in their hearts was guilty. Their response will last with me forever – because if that monster, that despicable man could get a fair trial then it means anyone can. Their sole goal was to ensure he was tried according to the law, because it matters. The system works if we can prosecute monsters and saints in the same manner. Their ultimate claim was that he was not prosecuted fairly, and other can argue the merits of that.
Both side need to embrace this sign, to live it. It means we can go through a transition every 2, 4, 8, however many years peacefully and continue moving forward. Because today you’re on top of the world – tomorrow you could very easily be the douche bag.
