"Mistakes were made" and "cut them a break" only goes so far. If your neighbor loans you a car that's great. If your neighbor loans you a car and it's a little bit dirty and grungy, that's not a big deal. If your neighbor loans you a car AND IT GIVES YOU CANCER because the metal is made out of radioactive waste, that's a bad thing. A very, very bad thing.

Right now we are almost at that state. It is honestly nearly that bad. Having a false sense of security can easily be worse than having no security at all.
