Rose-Colored Glasses, Jared Style



Jared Fogle is seen outside of his home
as the FBI searched the house.
NBC News
“Obviously, I am extremely shocked and disappointed by the recent developments involving Jared.” Katie Fogle said in a statement regarding allegations & arrest of her husband Jared Fogle. 

REALLY?!  Shocked and disappointed?!  If this was my husband, I certainly wouldn’t choose those words – shocked, disappointed.  Fill in the blank, “I am _____” Nauseated, infuriated, betrayed, disgusted, violated, and ashamed ~ just a few words I would have used.  But NOT “disappointed”.
It sounds so blasé.  Like ..
  1. was “disappointed” in the ending of the novel I was reading.
  2. I was “disappointed” in my child’s report card.
  3. I was “disappointed” that I didn’t get a raise or promotion.
What is quite obvious to me is that Jared Fogle is a pervert, sex offender, disgusting piece of sh*$ and doesn’t deserve a “plea deal”.  He belongs in prison with other pedophiles for the rest of his natural life.  Am I the only one who is sickened and filled with such hate for Jared??

When I heard that Jared Fogle, the former spokesman for Subway, was charged with pornography and soliciting minors for sex, I felt enraged.  Enraged, not only for the victims, but for the general public.  We had been taken for a ride.  We had been lied to.  We had been made to believe that with determination and hard work, anything is possible.  Jared had transformed himself, inside & out, and miraculously lost incredible amount of weight.  He was “on-top of the world” making millions of dollars promoting awareness about childhood obesity.  He worked on “helping” children while at the same time “molesting” children. 

My “rose-colored glasses” were broken once again.  The ugliness of the world in which we live raised its monstrous head.  “The Beast” was laughing.  Another child with an ugly secret.  Another child feeling lost and broken.  Another child whose innocence was taken from them if for no other reason than for the selfish pleasure of an adult.  Another child with tears screaming “I am, I cried”.  When does the madness end?!

The time is NOW for all victims of sexual abuse and exploitation to be heard.  The children, our future, can NOT wait another minute.  Evil lurks among us and must be brought to justice.  No more plea deals.  No more inadequate sentencing of the convicted.  No more looking the other way.  No more sweeping it under the rug.  No more being silent and keeping A SECRET.


H. Lewis Smith, wrote “CHARACTER, ETHICS, MORALS AND VALUES
What is Character? It’s the action you take to carry out the values, ethics and morals that you believe in. Conistency between what you say you will do, and what you [actually] do; putting your ethics INTO action. Moral strength, it takes moral courage to do what is right when it may cost more than you are willing to pay.  (http://theunitedvoices.com/commentary/?p=403)



The storm has passed. See the rainbow?
It’s beautiful. Life is beautiful.
And you are beautiful too.
