20. "Us?," the "good people" who have never broken the law, i.e., committed a crime?

They don't exist, my friend. And millions of formally convicted and unconvicted criminals work with kids every day with no problem. Problems arise only when the "good people" want to rub the noses of the convicted in the wreckage of the past.

It is my observation the only difference between someone who has a record and someone who doesn't is the latter didn't get caught, or had the cash/connections to get out of it. Whenever I bring up the fact that EVERYONE has broken the law at some point in their lives and is therefore a criminal the reaction is always the same... Shock, SHOCK!, that someone would say this about wonderful me! Pride, ego, delusion and denial rear their ugly heads in full force.

A universal truism sang by the great British sage, Mick Jagger, reveals:

"Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners Saints."
