Showing Original Post only (View all)Can't people on DU find forgiveness in their hearts? [View all]
I'm continually amazed by the callousness I find on DU.
Our President wants to put the robo-signing mess behind us. Why is that so controversial? Have we become so hardened that we cannot find a little forgiveness in our hearts?
Sure, these good folks committed perjury that wrecked many thousands of lives - but not once did they commit perjury about their own personal sex lives. And they sure as hell didn't smoke pot. Given these facts, I believe that they are not a danger to society. And I hope that you'll join me in cheering the end of the private Hells that these bankers have been living in.
Tomorrow is a new day. Let's forgive and forget.

Maybe it is good to practice sarcasm now. After the nomination, we may be limited to using it.
