From Deseret News archives:
Let's refine our sense of moral outrage
Now comes Michael Jackson, and Geragos emerges again. I await the press conference in which Jackson pledges to spend the rest of his life looking for the real child molester at Neverland, Jackson's ranch of horrors. Perhaps O.J. could join them.
Whoppers that consume. Whoppers that produce acquittals, or hung juries. I could find the strength to continue if some outrage over these troglodytes and their lawyers emerged.
These cases, investigations and trials are but dots in a landscape of degradation. A Pandora's box of evil surrounds us. Kobe Bryant's defense has not yet emerged, but I am betting on sex addiction. In between the underworld's comings and goings is the bizarre. Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera locked lips with Madonna on prime time television. David Letterman had a son out of wedlock. The Catholic priest molestation scandal has left the airways, but the Episcopalians now have a bishop who committed adultery with another man, a tryst that ended his marriage but, apparently, not his moral leadership.
Let's recap. In just the past year we have had murdered pregnant wives, testosterone-charged NBAers nailing the hotel help, females smooching on television with force that shook their navel rings, conservative icons gambling and loading up, and the King of Pop, along with a statistically significant number of priests, accused of child molestation.
