Arrogance or Ignorance

District Judge Jackie Glass doubled O.J. Simpson's bail to $250,000 for violating terms of the original bail by attempting to contact a co-defendant. But before assessing the bail, Judge Glass sternly admonished Simpson and pondered the metaphysical question that has bedazzled others who have followed his career since he left the University of Southern California and resonates well beyond his immediate legal difficulties:

I don't know Mr. Simpson what the heck you were thinking - or maybe that's the problem - you weren't. I don't know if it's just arrogance. I don't know if it's ignorance. But you've been locked up at the Clark County Detention Center since Friday because of arrogance or ignorance - or both.

I say it's both.
