The level of personal discipline it takes to get released and stay "good" on probation is far beyond what we expect from workers in general and almost certainly stricter than either of us requires for ourselves.

Yeah, it's part of the corrections system. You go on probation or parole and they keep you on a leash. It's intentional. If you don't like it, you can serve out the whole term.

"Saintly". For god's sake people. Listen to yourselves. How many cars I gotta jack before people start calling me a saint, anyway?

The "saintly" is not because they committed a crime, it is because they are willing to endure a "level of humility and, frankly, debasement it takes to find a willing employer" instead of going out and jacking a car.

They have to put up with people with opinions like yours, which do not allow them any hope of redemption.

I wonder what you are like when you need forgiveness? I do hope you get some, and even more that it opens your eyes and heart.
