A couple of thoughts on GOD

That’s George O. Darden, not a supreme being… no…try that again…not the all-powerful…no…we’ll have to try that again.
OK. We’re taking about the mayor of Spring Valley.
Let’s take these thoughts in chronological order.
So, a police officer finds a village mayor using emergency lights to make his way through mall traffic. Not bad if you can get away with it, I guess.
The officer hears Darden, who says he couldn’t read a sign because he had forgotten his glasses.
So the officer gives the mayor a pass on the emergency lights.
But if he couldn’t read a sign because he didn’t have his glasses, shouldn’t he have been ticketed for driving without corrective lenses?
Jump ahead a couple of days.
You don’t like Darden. He’s not your cup of tea. You didn’t vote for him, but he wins anyway.
He’s got a mind of his own. He’ll stand by a decision to a fault. You may even call him arrogant.
It’s not the the first time he’ll hear that or even read it.
But that’s no excuse—no excuse—to vandalize cars outside his home.
Things sometime have a crazy way of escalating. It shouldn’t happen to anyone and it shouldn’t happen to Darden.
Criticize all you like. Shout into the microphones or shout from the rooftops if you have a reason to find fault.
But don’t get stupid, stupid.
Put away the paintball gun before something tragic happens, albeit by accident or because of an act of stupidity.
