The problem we have now is that there is far too little accountability and what little accountability there is is often mitigated by some monatary retribution.
I am firm on personal accountability...that means in the most simple terms, the offender pays with his hide and his money, however financed, can't protect him...
Wow crank, I think that may be one of the most profound things you've ever said. Totally agree and teaching it should start with the children by their parents and continue with their teachers, not be postponed till graduate school or the penal system.
