C'Mon Man!
by Steve Ormord | January 12, 2012
ESPN football analyst, Cris Carter, reviews NFL plays or situations that seem to outrageous and beyond acceptable logic, and concludes with the now popular phrase, “C’Mon Man!” I’ve heard it enough times now that when I saw part of a television show this week, that was the first phrase that came to mind.
This week’s CBS episode of “Harry’s Law” was about a woman who hired Harry (short for Harriet, the lead character) to be her attorney and argue that a guerilla should be granted status as a person. In the courtroom, the judge said that had never been done in this country. Harry reminded the judge that this had become case law in some countries in Europe and said, “I realize that the United States of America is not as evolved as Europe or for that matter many apes.”
C’MON, MAN!
Then God said, “Let us make
mankind in our image, in our likeness so that they may rule over the fish in
the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,
and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” (Genesis 1:26)
What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. (Psalm 8:4,5)
