Well a "pillar of the community" and "outstanding citizen" during the day who hides under a white sheet and burns crosses on lawns and lynches people by night is a phony a fake a liar. Nothing outstanding about him or her. Lots of folks pretend to be what they are not. Superficially what they appear to be and what they are truly and really not the same. What I think of them based on what I experience personally may be all wrong based on the lies and the pretense. That doesn't make them what they appear to be to me. It makes them whom they are and I am wrong and being wrong doesn't make them honorable or good for a minute. Just my opinion. I know what a scumbag is by his actions and words. I know what scum is. The impurities hidden witin that will bubble out in the right circumstances. If you see a little you know there's a lot more there. Just give it time. Scum will always bubble up to the surface. It is amazing how much scum can be hidden inside. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there.
