So here’s a hypothetical situation--
Bob had a pretty ‘transgressive’ start to life. He had gotten into some
unlawful mischief in his youth, but, through ‘doing time’, community service,
and such, the law now states that he has absolved all transgressions.
Now Bob is a productive worker in society, and a fine contributor to his
local community. However, when he’s at the local PTA meeting, someone steps
up and says, “Why that Bob!! He was a bad seed before!! He should be
punished!!!”
