It's not about sticking up for sheriffs. It's about telling the truth without sensationalizing it. What the sheriff did was bad enough, there's no need to embellish.
- gameswithgo 9y ago>there's no need to embellish. You know I feel similarly as you, but with all of the research I have been seeing lately about how propaganda and emotional manipulation are far more effective than facts and reason, perhaps it is the case that to achieve positive change you do need to embellish, or else the forces pushing for negative change, who have no problem embellishing, will win? I don't want this to be true but maybe it is.
- gravy 9y ago>perhaps it is the case that to achieve positive change you do need to embellish No, no, absolutely not in any way at all.
- npongratz 9y agoI don't think ends justify means, noble as those ends might be.
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoSurely you must think some ends justify some means. For example I highly doubt you've cut all white lies from your life. What makes the use of embellishment here different?
