Then there's the second, more odious form of hypocrisy --
paying lip
service to a certain set of standards not because one

truly
believes
in them, but for opportunistic and manipulative

purposes --
i.e.,
the minister who insincerely preaches the virtues of

tithing
because
he's skimming the collection plate.
Or to use a more timely example: The pundit who skewers his
political opponents for "hypocrisy," while turning a blind

eye
to
his political allies' contradictions.
Like most every other vice, hypocrisy is one from which no

one
is
immune, least of all the Hypocrisy Police.

Reformatted for those from Rio Linda.


Not that it did a damn bit of good.

It looked fine when I reformatted it. I wouldn't have bothered otherwise.


Unfortunately, you don't seem to see that your line length is
inappropriate. We've been through this before and you didn't get it
then, either. Of course, like Arnold, you don't care about the general
welfare of the group.
