High five, Daughter. I did some pretty unbecoming things in my teens and I have always found it is best to talk openly about it. The past is the past and I am who I am today. All my experiences shaped the way I deal with life as an adult. Even bad ones can be beneficial if we learn from it.
I appreciate that George Bush never pretends to be holier-than-thou or tries to run away from the things for which he may not be so proud. That's a real man if you ask me.
Amen, Southflank. I like that, too.
