Quo Vadis

    Where are you going?
   That can be society's motto for America in the near future.
   This implies a pardon to those who might go in a strange direction, and it's a reminder of the full pardon Joe Biden issued for his son. Now, with all the critical attacks from the GOP Trumpians, it's appropriate to consider a comparison.
   Young Hunter Biden was connected to two legal offenses, and in the context of society as a whole, they were relatively minor.
   1/ Possession of a gun for some 30 days.
   2/ Drug use.
   The two coincided for about five days, and Hunter quit both.
   Compare that to the dozens of more serious offenses perpetrated by many Trump allies -- including himself -- and you have an interesting perspective.
   Granted, Hunter Biden should not have used drugs and should not have possessed a gun at the same time, even considering any personal problems he may have had in his life, including the death of his mother and sister in an auto accident when he was a youngster, as well as the death of his older brother.
   Now make a list of the legal and moral offenses allegedly perpetrated by the Trumpians, and see how much space it takes, as well as the legal punishment -- including prison time -- they faced.
   Then consider the likelihood that the incoming president will impose punishments of various kinds against any and all who have ever disagreed with him on anything.
   Is there a balance?
