Just Another Gloria Opinion: Regarding the hearing for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh

Note: I am sharing on my Blog what I wrote today on my Another Gloria Opinion page on Facebook. My opinions are just what the word implies ... opinions only.  Many thing shapes, molds my thoughts ... I don't stay stuck on any one thing once new details are learned.  I realize I don't know everything ... and there are many sides unseen by me.  That's why I continually 'walk around things' in my mind ... feeling, sensing if there's something new I didn't see ... so I can change my thoughts if need be.

I am going to watch closely the hearing for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh this morning. Why? I'm not for anyone in particular ... truthfully, I wouldn't discuss it ... if ... I was. I don't discuss politics, religion with anyone.

The reason I'm watching closely is that I used to be a 15-year-old girl ... and today looking back ... I KNOW people today who did such to young girls ... but, they never have to worry about some girls who grow up ... they won't tell. Does that mean I'm on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's side? No ... but, it could be true ... and could most likely to really have happened.

If you are female ... look back into your secrets as a young person that you never-ever talk about ... that's all I need to say. You KNOW it's possible from your own experiences. We just don't talk about such. As young girls we experienced things we shouldn't have but ... they DO happen, always will happen to innocent people.

No one would believe the good judge or doctor, lawyer, teacher, preacher, priest, babysitter, cousin, uncle, grandpa, grandma, aunt, brother, sister, father, mother ... on and on ... could 'do such things' ... they are too good, too perfect, too godly to think otherwise. Oh my God, we KNOW Grandpa couldn't ever do such a thing! Yes, he can, has, will if ... he has been like that through time, gotten away with it.

YES ... they do such things. They aren't perfect 'just because they are a pillar of the community ... they are somebody important'. Just because someone wears a title, uniform ... doesn't mean they don't or never have done anything bad. Just because someone has the look of a clean-cut, beautiful person doesn't mean they can't be bad. That's how the wolf catches his prey ... he ... appears ... to be a good guy ... and when it's believed by the victim ... the wolf strikes.

Think for a minute about something ... if someone 'appeared to be what they really were, have been' ... could they get away with everything they do, did?

Really ... stop ... think about it ... could they? Do you like the idea of someone who acts 'high and mighty and as if they haven't ever done anything wrong' ... when you know they've done bad things and probably still doing them in secret?

Suppose when they go into most important jobs where it matters who, what you are, have been? For example ... priests, policemen, so on ... you want them to be for-real good people so they won't harm your loved ones, you ... anyone. They get into these jobs based on integrity, honesty, decency, so on ... I've never seen a job listing dishonesty, a person who does, has done really bad things.

These people are role models for our children. I'm sad to say our role models have changed drastically ... now, our role models can be ugly, rude in public ... not step down from jobs when asked to, tear down other people in public saying awful things just to sway others' opinions, the list goes on. Have you noticed today ... how people have changed? They aren't as nice anymore ... they don't mind being ugly. Of course, there are many, many people who still care about courtesy, manners, rules ... I am one of them to a certain extent.

I will break a 'rule' if I feel I need to ... yes, I will. 'Rules are made to be broken' ... I believe that old saying. I believe they are made to be broken out of necessity. People's lives are saved, good things come from that when a rule needs to be bent.

If I break a rule ... I would do it only in a good way to help not hurt ... only if it helps not hinders good things to happen. You see where I'm coming from ... I would do it in a positive way.

Does that mean I'm right? No, but ... you would to if it meant life or death, or good things that need to happen. Rules need to change to keep up with ... today, the present.

Suppose I was the only person left in the world ... I'm driving and have to stop at a red light ... I can't go anywhere until the light turns green ... it never changes ... does it mean I sit there ... forever? See, what I mean? I'm NOT going to sit there, waste time when all is okay for me to go. I'll do it safely, looking all ways ... just in case.

Sometimes ... old, outdated rules that don't apply to our present time ... should be broken. Yes, that's my Gloria Opinion. If I felt I should ... would I break one in a bad way? NO. Would I break one in a good way to help someone in distress? In a heartbeat, if it meant saving a life, preventing something bad.

So now the hearing has begun ... I have a very good impression of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford at this moment. She appears to be credible ... she hasn't spoken yet. She appears to be everyday, normal ... not haughty, arrogant. I like that. People spoke, greeted her with smiles when she came in.

I have a feeling ... who ... is going to be caught in a web of lies woven over time fooling loved ones, the workplace into believing they are ... so perfect, good. Life won't be the same after this hearing. Yes, this is going to be interesting.

Oh, this might be a case of something I always cautioned my son as a young man against ... I always told him not to do anything 'now' ... because things have a way of coming back at the most inopportune time 'to bite you in the ass'. Then after telling him I would look him straight in the eyes and ask him ... would you want something ugly you've done in the past to come back when your life is good ... to destroy it?

Well ... these are my thoughts, opinions only. I am not an expert at anything ... even in my own life. I'm constantly learning, changing my opinions if I see better to sway them. I try to be the best person I can ... I'm not perfect. I care about everything.

I just looked back up at my tv screen directly into Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's face ... she still hasn't spoken ... yet, looking at her something tells me she is ... honest, a good person. We'll see if I'm right. She is credible ... I listened to her speak.  I like her ... she comes across as honest.

I won't say my opinion on Judge Brett Kavanaugh ... so far I sensed dishonesty. I won't go on to say bad things about anyone. 

It's sad ... but ... there is going to have to be one out of these two people ... who is going to be believed ... the other's life may be destroyed. That's why young people need to be careful in their actions as ... young people/teens.  Things do have a way of coming back to 'bite you in the ass'.

Again ... this is only my opinion ... you have to form yours. I respect your opinions as you respect mine. I don't argue with anyone ... you will have to go elsewhere. Gloria Faye Brown Bates/aka Granny Gee.
