RE: mea culpa already!!! sheesh

"alright already. point well taken. Sheesh? I hope all of you who wagged a finger are truly guiltless. ..So you never burned a copy of a sister's CD, or made a mix tape using some of your buddy's LP's??? "

You started off well enough with "alright already. point well taken." But then you descended into the old routine of justifying your bad behavior by pointing to other's bad behavior.

This is one of the common retorts that people have regarding their bad behavior. "You've done wrong things, too!" (Another is "I didn't know".)

Look, none of us are saints. Sure, I've driven 45 in a 40 mph zone. Sure, I've illegally recorded a couple of concerts. Sure, I've taken the occasional excess incorrect change at the cash register.

But I don't make a habit of ripping off other people, as you admittedly do. So don't try to lay the guilt trip on me. It ain't gonna fly.

You're a music rip-off theft pro, and you know it. You've got your theft routine figured out, and you use it regularly.

Your feeble attempt to justify your intentional and routine behavior of stealing by pointing out the saintlessness of others is just dumb, and an old argument that people use to justify their bad behavior.

By the way, of the four concerts I've illegally recorded, only ONE of them was ever released commercially - and I bought the product. The other three, I've not shared with anyone else. Oh, and, I gave one of the others to the artist's road manager, so they'd have it if they wanted to use it later.

So shut the pie hole and learn to play nice with others.

Go to your room, and think about how you can be a better person.
