slobjection: (the job is inherently crappy)

He's quick to point fingers and blame and run his mouth about how little other people are doing or have sacrificed, but I wonder how much work he's actually putting in.

[ not as much as taako!! ]

... Went to apologize to her. Went about as well as you'd expect.

I doubt it's much but who can say? Someone's efforts may be tremendous for them and little for others. But it's not like he's told us himself.

...did she listen to you at all?

Not really. As soon as she thought I was insulting his efforts -- which I wasn't, for the record -- she went at it.

It's fine, though. She still needs a villain in her black and white narrative, doesn't she?

[ since she's so obsessed with the trials and nothing else, acting like it's justice ]

So it seems. She's young, it's probably how she can cope right now. I can't fault her for that. I just wish she...all of them, really, would listen a little better when I try to explain it's not just about finding the guilty each week. It's about understanding the larger picture.

I know, she's just a kid. [ he's patient with her, because he gets it. kara, on the other hand, has no excuse. ]

Seems like we're all pretty short-sighted in that regard.... and people don't really listen when we try to tell them otherwise. "Guilty"... "innocent".... those terms can't apply in a place like this.

They can't. Not when it's something that just has to happen because if it's just people trying to make sure we all don't fucking die, is that really something they could be considered "guilty" for? The deck was stacked against us from the beginning, that's why I've been trying to say to look at the whole picture and not each case week by week.
