Rich white people, mostly men who are straight (just to hedge their bets) really do live different lives than the rest of us.  Ah well, remember all those athletes who are lousy people but still get the big jobs and the big bucks, eh?

One of the more annoying things I keep seeing on Facebook is something along the lines of "If we hold everyone accountable for what they did in high school, nobody would be employed."

Well, two things. 1- We do, to a degree. For serious crimes we often try those above 16 as adults, and they have that hang over them the rest of their lives when applying for jobs. And, 2- I hate that people have so little faith in humanity. I don't think the majority of teenagers run around raping and committing crimes.
