BTW...when speaking of/to his children; you could at least spell the words right, JOS!

People make choices that impact their lives either positively or negatively and then blame others when those choices see the light of day when others reveal those choices. It is most painful to realize that our choices have very negative effects and often folks blame others, but bottom line, our choices are our choices and we must live with the consequences of those choices and quit blaming others.

BTW, msmal, maybe you should look up the meaning of the word "loose."

Shirley Sherrod and the many at ACORN the names of whom I don't know.

Are you sure their lives are "destroyed"?

What metric did you use to come to this conclusion?

Re: Shirley Sherrod:

"After Vilsack fired her, he offered her a consulting contract and elicited her opinions on how to deal with discrimination within the department.

Sherrod also sued Breitbart for defamation. It is still working its way through the judicial system.

Sherrod’s lawyer did not return a call asking about the fate of her case in the face of Breitbart’s sudden death.

In the end, Sherrod has used the incident and the attention it brought to her advantage, raising money for causes she believes in — including a a cooperative of Southern women who make pecan candies. These days, she is spending her time building and promoting a large cooperative ranch outside of Albany that she and her husband have said would be farmland for poor Georgia farmers, black and white."

Ruined her life?
