[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4755166, member: 18222"] MLK missed the point of this old Biblical based saying ... he did not miss many but this one he did. The point of this is to do away with the punishments that were not commensurate with the law that was broken. The masses were subject to much more severe punishments for breaking laws than the anointed were. A 'common' fella could have his right hand cut-off for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his family from the 'nobility'. A more accurate derivation of this old adage would be "Don't blind the beggar if you wouldn't blind the King." [ATTACH type="full" alt="1611425910963.png"]326105[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
