   Hey Lefty, I have a serious question for you.   
      
   Maybe you are a different person today than you were when you committed your   
   crimes.  Maybe you're not.  Only you can say.   
      
   But my question is this:   
   As you sat down working out the details of your crime, what the hell did you   
   think was going to be the reaction most employers were going to have toward   
   you if you ever got caught?  Did you really think they were going to welcome   
   you with open arms?  When some people with college degrees can't even find   
   work today?   
      
   Where the hell was your common sense?   
      
   What were you thinking about?   
      
   And please don't tell me you never thought you'd get caught.  In reality,   
   you seem a reasonably intelligent guy, so you knew there was at least a   
   chance no matter how good your plan.   
      
      
   Maybe today you are a different person
