Journalism vs Advocacy

<<You escape the weight of the parable in what way?>>

That's a no-brainer.

I put the blame for wars of unprovoked aggression, violently overthrowing democratically elected governments, sponsoring torture states and death squads around the world, torturing prisoners directly and/or by proxy and lying about why they go to war all squarely where it belongs:  on the U.S.A.

It's a "mote" that I don't happen to have in my own eyes.

I'll make this real easy for you:  the parable targets hypocrites who denounce others for doing exactly what they do themselves; it does NOT target good guys with clean hands who denounce real-life liars, rapists, torturers and murderers.

Ok , there is something in my eye then , just as you point out.

OK, good, recognition of the problem is the first step.  Now pull the upper lid down over the edge of the lower and hold it there till the tears wash out the log.  And try not to point to other people's motes while you're doing it.

Hahahahaha!

I don't think it possible that you will "get " it.
