I am completely OK with people with blemishes if they are honest about them from the start. Get out ahead of it. Take responsibility from day one. Explain why it was wrong, explain the learning process about it, explain the change created by learning. Show growth. Growth is good. https://t.co/0A35GmsVff

People who are comfortable being exactly what they have been, people who think that their lives were settled at age 18, or when they graduated college, or when they started their career or some other milestones are not built for it. They aren’t the leaders we want or need.

Morning
I should try to find my 1985 Wildcat (New Hanover HS, Wilmington, NC) yearbook. In it there is a picture of what was then some of the cool kids at a house party. Behind this group is a giant white sheet that they had used for people to write on, 99.9% of that was just Seniors being joyous about moving on. There is 1 thing however that is also written on that caused a roughly 2 weekish long uproar and made state news. It was barely visible but someone spotted it. What was it? "Kill N----- babies!"
When the yearbook came out with that picture, all hell broke loose. Every morning was an announcement about how sorry the school was, or the country, or the yearbook committee, and so on. Some kids protested by staying home a day or 2. A letter was issued with another apology. One of the KKK grand dragons showed up at the school (at least that was the rumor), that was when I got scared and called my mom to get her to take me home.
There was an announcement that is people wanted a new yearbook with out that picture then they could exchange theirs. I choose to keep mine with the letter, because no matter how awful it was it still happened the year I graduated HS. In 1985.
I don't condone the Northam pix.
I don't condone this whole Fairfax thing, which really seems to be he said/she said, and have not idea how to resolve that.
I don't condone the Herring announcement, but with his letter I understand better his thinking, and that he realizes it was something hurtful and stupid. Honestly I think Herring has handled this better then Northam.
Can we all just admit we were idiots in the 80's and move on?
The one thing I've noticed is no one in VA is talking about how suddenly the GOP is a bunch of angels? That this doesn't smell like a beach after low tide in July on a 100 degree day. That there seems to be an attempt at a VA GOP coup.
