But I will have to continue to advocate for the idealist, like me, who has to mourne the dearth of true charity, intellectual and human integrity and the idea of equality. I think there still have to be some of us around who hold out for what is right in the face of the bottom line.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580241881953821182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-80871702534956840972010-11-07T12:49:09.767-02:002010-11-07T12:49:09.767-02:00It wasn't about Ben being a better person....s...It wasn't about Ben being a better person....simply was Ben never relinquished his parental rights, Grayson's mother did sign on the dotted line. So he could fight with the $$$$$$ he had that afforded him to be able to fight for his son. Fault our justice system...people with a bit more money, on most cases tried....they win, empty pockets lose. That in and of itself, is a grave injustice for all people who have less money to spend on lawyers.<br />Personally I don't have a whole lot of empathy for Grayson's surrendering mother. She was no kid..she was already raising a 15 yr old son. She was in debt up to her eyeballs (see her bankruptcy docs available for public viewing online). Who knows?? maybe the Vaughns slipped her some $$$$$$$ under the table...and by no stretch of the imagination would that have been an impossibility. <br />The bigger problem here in America, is how "The Haves" and "The Have Nots" are meted out justice. No $$$$$$, No justice for you!!<br />If any one of us....had had a million dollars in our pockets years ago...our kids would never have been lost to adoption. It's the ole money thing...always has been in Westernized countries, especially America.

It saddens me beyond measure.<br /><br />I hate November!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088288948654864117noreply@blogger.com
