He did NOTHING illegal. He just blew a wad. That is his right.

Nobody says he did anything illegal, this discussion is about vice and virtue. To Bennett, virtue is just a concept to make money off of which he then uses for his vice (see my post #44).

I do see where your coming from Palmer. After years and years of virtue. This?

After years and years of protaying to be Mr. Perfect, this guy just says, "Hey, I made a mistake". Sorry, I don't buy it.

Would my wife by it, I don't think so. Same with this dude.

As brillant as this dude is/was, GET LOST Bill Bennett.

I thought one virtue was owning up to your mistakes, and doing better next time. What? You won't give him the chance to prove it?

The Book of Virtues, if you have ever read it, is filled with many folk-tales. Most of them have a moral to the story. To get to the moral, you have to understand the struggle that the person was going through, and the lesson that was learned in the end. If there is no moral to the story, then it would not be a lesson in what virtue is. It would be a story about what perfection is.
