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.

The general welfare of the group? What the **** are YOU smoking?
