Priorities

Naturally, the media I consume was all over the latest allegations of sexual impropriety by Brett Kavanaugh.   The New Yorker, which basically precipitated the #metoo movement with its story about Harvey Weinstein's perversions came forward with another accuser from Kavanaugh's days at Yale where he seemed to participate in one drunken debauch after another.  In a just world, he would have withdrawn his name for consideration and slunk back to his sinecure on the circuit court.  Meanwhile, the Cape Fear river in North Carolina has still not crested and it is a week since Florence plowed ashore.  In a just world, people would be more worried about the implications of that story than whether a drunken frat boy exposed himself to a woman 35 years ago.  What a world we live in.
