I Don’t Believe You.

Posted By Cliff Tuttle | November 14, 2011

No. 756

To all the people who recently stated that, if they had been in the shoes of the Penn State Five, they would have called the police, I don’t believe you.

Yes, you would do it now.

But not then.

And that doesn’t make you any less caring then than you are now.

It means that you are more alert to the specter of the potential of a horrifying injustice today; much more than you were a month ago.

We all are.

It means that you hadn’t thought very much about it  until now.

Few of us had.

It means that you’ve changed.

We all have.

That is the meaning of the word “historic.”
