“Undercover officers posing as a 13-year-old girl communicated with 52-year-old Joe Barron of Plano for about two weeks. The online conversations were sexual in nature, police said. On May 6, Barron suggested meeting the girl in person. He eventually made the nearly 200-mile drive to Bryan on Thursday, where he was arrested. The Bryan-College Station Eagle reported for its Saturday editions that police surrounded the site of the suggested meeting place for two hours before Barron arrived. Police said they found a web-cam and condoms in Barron’s car. Barron was released from the Brazos County Jail on Friday night on $7,000 bail. Police were unsure if he had an attorney.” [Link]

    From the time religion put its stamp on the Republican party, it became clear that the concept that “power corrupts…” was true. Look no further than those who will claimed to be “religious” and would uphold the principals and tenets of Christianity, are the same ones who decide to take advantage of their position.

    One can never know what is in the minds of another person. Because a persons words paint one picture, you can never KNOW what is behind those thoughts. This then brings to mind the question of honesty. Because a person is a minister, does that mean they are honest? How far back can we believe what we have been told because someone stands at the front of a church?
