I have done some really crappy things, this just happens to be the worst.<br /><br />SML ~ I tried to find a photo of Stockard Channing as Rizzo singing the song but couldn't find anything decent.

There are two defenses here. Both are complete and each is independent of the other. Shoot one down and the other still obtains.<br /><br />1) The legal principle first enshrined in the Magna Carta and later passed down to NBA refs in playoff games --- No harm, no foul. If she never found out, you hurt no one.<br /><br />2) Statute of limitations. Or as Dubya puts it when excusing his cocaine use, "When I was young and foolish, I was young and foolish."<br /><br />I'm not aiming to devalue your conscience; you know you did something wrong that could have been hurtful to someone who'd done nothing to deserve it. <br /><br />But I am aiming to mitigate it some. You hurt no one. And it was a long time ago.<br /><br />The defense rests.<br /><br />Oh, and I agree with everyone else, this is a beutifully written and evocative vignette.David in DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254984194783456496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26415331.post-31022215913605349572007-01-18T13:02:00.000-05:002007-01-18T13:02:00.000-05:00hubba hubba.

For several months, I dated a military guy (captain) who planned our marriage & whole life. I tried to break up with him almost everyday, but I was too nice about it & he just wouldn't listen. I started dating another guy that was completely opposite. I hate that I was a cheater, but sadly there is not much regret. If I could take qualities from each, that would have been the perfect man. :)Freckle Face Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324960438835000817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26415331.post-55881826755283359892007-01-18T07:26:00.000-05:002007-01-18T07:26:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26415331.post-38914836539194633612007-01-18T06:00:00.000-05:002007-01-18T06:00:00.000-05:00Dear Rachel,

I am certainly guilty of that and have done bad things too in my past! But you were young and in love and it's okay to make mistakes and not even regret them, because without making them you would not be who you are now or would not have learned so much.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988701255886949660noreply@blogger.com
