I believe everyone can make mistakes and deserves a second chance. It's not because you've done something bad in the past that you are forever lost.

I think that's a very idealistic thing to believe. But I'll bet you wouldn't wager your retirement savings on a financial planner previously convicted of embezzlement, your children on a nanny with sex conviction, or your life under the scalpel of a doctor who had done time for criminal negligence.

And if you would, good on ya. You can be the one to give everyone second chances.

And I think that the inverse is what creates the whole US mess with huge incarceration rates and a doomed black population...

I think you're assuming that I believe the extreme opposite, when in fact I believe a moderate opposite.

Thank you. I will. Even to you.
