Listening to the guy on CNN talking about the Kobe Bryant case, saying that a) for 200 years we’ve had equal justice for the rich and the poor in America, and b) this woman (that would be the 19-year-old rape victim) will “have to go on trial.” A little while after this I got into a discussion with a couple of folks about the nature of God. I declared that God wasn’t interventionalist in any way quantifiable by human values. I said this in part because the guy on CNN didn’t drop dead with maggots writhing out of him. On camera.
