10. No jail. No prison.
Nobody in my family has ever been arrested. None of my friends either, as far as I know. I keep my nose clean. It's really not all that hard...

I've noticed that in some circles, the stigma of having been to jail no longer exists. I think that's a shame. Remember how people used to be horrified if they found out if someone had been in jail? I'm still like that. If one of my sons brought home a fiancee with an arrest record, it would take a LOT of convincing to get me to accept that person into my family. My family is pretty liberal, but also pretty square. We follow the rules, and aren't crazy about folks who scoff at them, whether they be corporate titans embezzling, or regular guys speeding with a .15 BAC.
