Shonda of the Week

Southern Beale, I thought, went on hiatus a couple of months ago, so I wasn't actively poking at it every few days, but I happened to stop by today, and --

This offends me, and it offends me in the same way it offends Southern Beale:
These are the sins of American life for which we will be judged. Not gays and abortion and failure to post the 10 Commandments in the courthouse. It’s this. When the wealth of the powerful and enfranchised is used to oppress the powerless and disenfranchised, that’s sin. The Bible is very clear on that. And someday, whether you’re religious or not, we’re all going to have to answer for that--indeed, we already are. It's not just a Biblical law, it's not just a religious law, it's a universal law. It's karma.
