For Consideration:
Righteousness precludes self-righteousness.

When the race to the bottom is eagerly led by those proud to be already near the bottom, it's time for the rest of us to reassert our values.
We all make mistakes, large and small. The magnitude of a mistake tells little about the person. How one deals with the damage says much more.
Do the words "complete no brainer" tell us more about the subject under discussion, or about the mind of the speaker?
Upon humanity's inevitable extinction, all memory will fade and even today's most dramatic events will have been merely virtual reality.
