Thought for the Day – The Height of Irony
February 13, 2017 by bjcorbin
Lately, I’ve pondered whether the mocking, taunting and belittling of those we consider to be hateful is the height of irony, or the height of hypocrisy. I suppose it could be both. Either way, disparaging people who don’t share our particular point of view seems to have become our new national pastime. So much for all that pretentious rhetoric about tolerance, diversity, unity, and taking the “high road”.
