What’s the matter, Donovan? Having difficulty differentiating between a response and the responder? By all means, please illustrate where, in any of my responses, I personally embrace and adhere to any or all of your accusations contained within your following rant:
"There are idiots like Sterling, whose ill-thought-out moral values and half-remembered parables lead to an incoherent and ranting sense of justice that often has little to do with justice or reality and more to do with entirely unrelated anger and bitterness at their own perceived raw deal from life. People like Sterling want the world to pay, and it doesn't really matter for what reason."
Forgive me, but where did I express MY moral values and stance on justice in my posts to your question: “How is a family member held responsible for the behavior of their relative?”
In your haste to soothe your bruised ego, you mistakenly claimed I offered “half- remembered parables”. I presented metaphor, idiom, proverb, literary reference and scripture – NOT ONE PARABLE. In fact, my responses supported your observation “it's as if they're guilty by extension”. You obviously have no idea what constitutes a parable. And that, sport, confirms your ignorance. Just like the ignorance you boldly attribute to “the majority of average onlookers.”
I did enjoy your “In the cases I’m currently observing” statement. You tried to make two anecdotal events sound so scholarly. Let me guess: You are the offspring of an FDA official responsible for approving Thalidomide in the 1950’s. “The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.” [Note to Donovan: That was NOT a parable.]
You are another cultural illiterate. Your observations are sophomoric and parochial at best. Be sure and let us know what monotheistic religion shaped your thinking regarding being God’s instrument and absolution. I'm sure you can enlighten Teacher on her beliefs. That is, after you get over being pompous and pissy.

"Golly, Lassie. I'm sure glad you stuck by me after I threw your puppies down the well. We don't need Jesus!"
