Double Standard

Even those who "break the law" don't like it if somebody burglarizes their house. You ever think about that? The burglar himself being burglarized? Shouldn't he (or she) be happy for the person that stole their stuff? After all, they're in the same business, aren't they? And is it not evidence that burglary is wrong that the burglar himself gets upset when his stuff is stolen? (And calls the police?)

Fill in the "burglary" blank with anything else: shading the truth, cheating on taxes, talking on a cell phone while driving, having an affair, etc.

Why is it alright for you to do it to somebody else? ~ but rue (lament) the day they do it to you! ("Hang 'em from the highest tree!")
