( Watching Mitch McConnell summarizing his position relative to the impeachment of Trump)We should all be really concerned by the impeachment going on in the U.S! Not because it introduces a new level of corruption and indignity but rather because it highlights the corruption and indignity that is already occurring on a daily basis in the U.S-the corruption of Truth and indignities hurled at individuals in the courts of our nations as a regular ritual.It goes by various names- “adversarial” “rule of Law” and “spinning”.

This manouevre goes on as well in advertisements,in arguments about privacy,in ideological debates,in how bureaucracies prevent you from getting your rights! In fact it even happens in daily discourse with people you know well where I sense,especially amongst young people a reflex,even a need, to disagree(I am not talking only about adolescents but rather young adults and millennials)- as if they need to do this to preserve their very identity.Needless to say this is very corrosive to Truth and prevents them from listening to Reality instead of maintaining their biases!

This being said,I have never seen a better exemplar of this “spinning” than the current impeachment debacle.But make no mistake about it- this process is going on in our courts and public institutions as a matter of course. In fact it is the default process of our society!
No wonder people are confused!
