Both Sides. . .

So I've got to say that I certainly hear both sides of the debate (see Pianogonzology August 14th & 15th) and empathize with each.  Our society is all too quick to vilify and then we seek revenge.  (See Mel Gibson movies-Any)

While Anthony Weiner, Bob Filner and Eliot Spitzer have all done despicable deeds, some with more hubris than others, as Howard Bess says, dwelling on these things will only make us miserable human beings.

I certainly have no desire to bring additional or excessive misery upon myself.  First, and I'm sure Howard would agree, any illegal activity must not go unpunished.  And I most certainly believe Howard is spot-on that we must forgive and move on.  Based upon sincere remorse and a willingness to make amends (and restitution, if applicable) everyone deserves another chance.

What I have difficulty with, and I'm sure Howard is a much better man than I, is re-electing someone to the same position (or higher) when deficient remorse has been exhibited and excessive lack of scruples demonstrated.

The Other Side . . .

. . . of the coin. . .

(from The Rational Optimist Frank S. Robinson)

". . .And now it comes out that the married Weiner (a/k/a Carlos Danger) engaged in even more and even dirtier stuff with even more women, since his resignation. (Alas, Spitzer may now seem almost clean by comparison.)

I never liked any of them. Spitzer and Weiner were both “progressive” blowhards. Spitzer was acclaimed as the “Sheriff of Wall Street;” I thought him a bully who abused his position and the law to curry popular favor shaking down unpopular targets. His governorship was a disaster even before the sex thing because he foolishly continued to act the bully. Weiner was no legislator, just a self-promoting publicity hound. . ."
