Polanski: "The Balance Sheet Paradox" Redux



Figured this post became topical again...though unfortunately, this post seems to get topical every few days...

"Do the things you do in life that are extremely awesome "balance out" the things you do in life that are extremely not awesome?"


and

"Can we have and approve both: the sacred and the profane in the same person, good and bad wrapped up in equal measures? Can we love the good and ignore or condemn the bad? Or are there certain absolutes or lines that, once crossed, stains every other act?"


As for the Roman Polanski case itself, I'm not getting into an online debate with anybody on it regarding the pros and cons, because if I had to guess there's at least one person out there who would wear themselves out telling me that I'm categorically wrong. But feel free to discuss amongst yourselves. EDIT: and feel free to use the grand jury testimony.
