 American Politics Journal -- Harry Potter and the Fruits of Denial
With respect to Moral #1, we find that Harry loses someone close to him as a result of the thoughtless actions of several people, Harry and the victim included.
Harry desperately wants to have a morally-stainless figure in his pantheon of heroes, and he can't bear the fact that his late father and his friends weren't exactly sweetness and light when they were Harry's age.
And when one of his loved ones dies, partly because of unresolved growing-up issues, but partly because Harry should have looked before he leaped, Harry finds himself looking to unload all the blame for it on one person, who in fact really wasn't to blame at all.

In light of Senator Trent Lott's recent controversial tribute to outgoing Senator Strom Thurmond, below you'll find a 1948 newsreel report (and stills) on the Dixiecrat convention that nominated Thurmond for president on a rabidly racist platform.
Thurmond, then the South Carolina governor, opposed President Harry S. Truman's civil rights policies and carried four states, including Lott's Mississippi.
During a December 5 celebration marking Thurmond's 100th birthday, Lott remarked that if the former segregationist had won in 1948, "we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years." Lott's recent remarks about Thurmond are virtually identical to statements the Republican made in 1980.
