Does everyone know the story of the scorpion and the frog? Watch "The Crying Game" or check out this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scorpion_and_the_Frog Done? Good, now that we have the same basis we can start.
Everyone knows that the frog is stung by the scorpion because the scorpion is some suicidal and kill crazy critter. Yeah, that makes sense. How do we know that the frog wasn't some scumbag that was cheating on his wife and the scorpion was hired to kill the frog? Maybe the frog was in the Amphibian Protection Program for dropping the dime on his boss. Or maybe the frog was the Capo di tutti i Capi of the local Mothers And Fathers Interswamp Agency (read the acronym) and the scorpion was the local kid that just had enough and had to put an end to the tyranny. Maybe, just maybe the the scorpion was some kill crazy madman. And maybe he wasn't so crazy after all and maybe he could swim.
The truth will never be known. The original frog and scorpion are dead and gone plus any written records they left will be really hard to read because who is going to admit that they read some frog or scorpion language.
What is known is that people "know" the scorpion killed the frog for no good reason and because of this the scorpion will never get a fair trial.
Considering my last post some people may think I am trying to bring sympathy to the Steubenville rapists. Hell no, put a bullet in the back of their heads like any other rapists should have.
Maybe we need to open up our eyes and start questioning what we don't normally question. Because no matter what we will never know the whole story.
