Off topic, but just wanted to put my 2 cents in.....

In my opinion, the world would be a better place if we cared about everyone. Feel free to hate the behaviors, but try not to hate the person. Westergaard was born an innocent child one day - got this way for some reason. I can feel sorry for him, wish him well, and not trust him at all - all at the same time. Nor do I forget the people who he has hurt.

I don't like to see the vitriol spreading. If we hate the bad do-ers too much, we become bad do-ers ourselves. It's hate that is the enemy.

It is up to our society as a whole to punish Westergaard appropriately such that these behaviors are roundly discouraged. Unfortunately we tend to see white collar crimes as victimless. Crimes deserve sound and just punishment - but hating only hurts ourselves.

How's that for touchy feely........
