There is always a back side to any given coin,
or phonograph record,
or human story.
This makes it so tempting
for a person caught in a lie,
to shout “What about _____?”
It is second nature,
for two people arguing,
to focus on what the other
is saying, or doing.
Yet, one can only polish
one side at a time.
False equivalency does
nothing,
to help either
front or back.
There is no substitute
for focus.
Yes!

He is a mirror of the baser aspects of our social fabric, in that regard.
