The point is that we all deserve moments of appreciation,
and forgiveness. I was very skeptical when PNCA hosted the
Forgiveness Project and spoke against hosting. But on Yom Kippur I
had to advise my daughter, and I found myself reaching for what
Desmond Tutu says about forgiveness being a form of self interest.

And why on earth does the world have advise, advice and advize and
still not know how to resolve the financial crisis? Geary probably
could tell us that it's a party issue, or absence thereof, but he's
likely asleep at this hour.
