Well, truth be told, so am I. I'll take Anakin Skywalker any day.
Now, I just got back from the gym, and I ruminated on these posts, and then read the ones posted in my absence. Interesting point of view,
taken as a whole.
We all seem to know this stuff goes on, we all agree that the 'government' can and will use our own past life and words against us, we all know that real men grow, atone and repair the damage they have done, but then we say virtually, "Hey, that's life, what are we going to do?"
To me, that's easy. Do the same thing I do for "political correctness."
Don't reward it.
Why should I get all sweaty when someone demands his rights or threatens a race card. Hey, go get an attorney and a big ol' sack lunch, because this is going to be a long fight. Don't cave in so much.
If a DA threatens to convict me in the present by entering my past into evidence, perhaps my attorney should look into abuse of process. Make them work for these silly and unprofessional gains.
Besides, I cut quite a dashing figure dressed in a pin-striped Dior suit, all ready for court. I'll bring my church family, we'll have a pot-luck. Both bikers and SDA's love a good pot-luck...
