Consistently acting "above reproach" is difficult to impossible, especially since *some* people will find a way to reproach you no matter how well you behave. . . If more people in this world were ready to admit mistakes in a timely manner, take corrective measures, and make amends wherever it is possible to do so, the world would be a lot better place. Heck a whole lot of lawyers would probably be out of a job. . . :-)Robin Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208142626285495635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553799694247296931.post-39064550784466718782009-09-11T22:23:32.395-05:002009-09-11T22:23:32.395-05:00About 1970 I thought of attending the University o...About 1970 I thought of attending the University of Missouri School of Journalism. I never went there but I seem some of the same problems in journalism as you and smijer see in law. In both professions there is probably a complete breakdown in transparency in communicating the truth. Others will see the same problem in ministry or just about any other profession. I think it is up to each of us as individuals to see to it that we act above reproach. Unfortunately ethics is not easily taught.Mickbichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219995234630216502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-553799694247296931.post-78093048571346610072009-09-11T17:54:31.917-05:002009-09-11T17:54:31.917-05:00Needless to say I have had people tell me that if ...Needless to say I have had people tell me that if you represent yourself in court you have a fool for a lawyer. Needless to say these people were mostly lawyers. My response to that adage is that one can hire a lawyer, spend a lot of money on a lawyer, and still have a fool for a lawyer. . . Personally I think that I have done reasonably well representing myself in criminal court. Of course it helps if you are innocent and there is virtually no evidence supporting the prosecution's case against you.Robin Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208142626285495635noreply@blogger.com
