I was just watching Geraldo at Large on Fox New, which isn't exactly one my regularly viewed shows. Though the story is a few months old, Geraldo brought up the issue of the infamous balloon boy. If you don't know the story (basically meaning you live under a rock) please Google it. Anyway, the father who most likely hoaxed the whole story is unable to find a job anywhere. During the show, a clip was shown of him telling a reporter (not sure of what network the reporter was from) that he applied to four separate jobs but was turned down to the position due to the debacle.
Social justice?
It just goes to show that without government intervention and such, a kind of natural law takes effect and basically determines the future lifestyle for the father who apparently lied and perpetuated a hoax for the sake of publicity. Government, beside the disbursement of law enforcement officers when the weather balloon crashed and taking up of court procedures thereafter, had nothing to do with preventing the employment of the father. If that isn't proof of how a society built upon the reputation of individuals trying to make a living outside government assistance, I don't know what is.
Update- I can't believe I forgot to mention it but R.I.P. Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. I don't know about you but I would love to see him get a show on Fox, not CNN.
