The above is from an old song, about 1900 plus or minus. I don’t know. It might be a quote from an earlier saying. The words have been set to a catchy tune. You might want to look it up. It is by Gilbert and Sullivan and the tune is from an operetta, “The Mikado.”

Gilbert and Sullivan premiered the show in Japan, English actors with makeup to make them look Japanese, which showed some courage as it was about a Mikado, or a, so to speak, king in Japan. It is very funny and the Japanese thought so, as they loved the operetta. Surprisingly, not one person found it objective. You should have no difficulty finding both the song and show on the internet. It took me 2 minutes. The song lasted about 4 minutes. Certainly you have that much time to listen to it.

The point of the song is that the actor is saying that his object is subline, to make the punishment fit the crime.

I know… Here I go again talking about operettas and Gilbert Sullivan again. Well, I can’t help it if someone ignored your proper music education. We were listening to Gilbert and Sullivan in the 5th and 6th grade and all the kids thought it was great.

At any rate, I keep hearing these people going around saying the Trump is going to go after the dems that were going after him. It’s the wrong attitude. Perhaps if the dems had listened to this song they would realize it.

The question should be, is the Justice Department going to prosecute the guilty. Are they going to let the punishment fit the crime or are they going to just let them go as the dems hope they will.

The point is this, don’t you think anyone that has committed a serious crime should be prosecuted, no matter what letters are after their name. Or do you think that, no matter how serious the crime, all people with Ds after their name should go free regardless of the crimes they committed.

If they prosecute only those guilty of crimes, why should any of the dems have anything to fear? On the other hand, if their hands are full of guilt, why should they not fear the law, as any criminal.

To be sure, in a properly running justice system, the punishment should fit the crime, no matter who is guilty. Isn’t that the way it is supposed to work?
