Blue Collar Reason V White Collar Crime

I recently went to court to show a supposed voice of reason paperwork that had been falsified by one within his own profession; to my "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit" surprise, the only real voice of reason was mine - the pristine-looking image of a con artist, theatrical profession had to be more important than the truth. We tell our children to strive to become something bigger, better, and richer; instead, we should be telling them to become bigger, better, and life richer than the superficial cheaters we usually have them look up to while they are growing up. For "The Voice Of Reason" contest sponsored by Paula Swanson.
