      One of the arguments this article makes in defense of Northam is -- and I'm not making this up -- "our free will is limited if not nonexistent"https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1092050080490762241 …

      Not endorsing every aspect of this, but it's worth considering. @ZaidJilani has had some great insights lately. https://quillette.com/2019/02/02/the-ralph-northam-scandal-betrays-the-lefts-hypocrisy-on-forgiveness-and-rehabilitation/ …

      sounds sillier if you leave out the next part! "therefore we should not hate or loathe people who commit antisocial or immoral behaviour. Instead, we should try to understand the natural processes that lead to that behaviour."

      Is the dominant response to Northam really hatred & loathing -- as against disappointment, sadness & a feeling that his actions (including his bizarre backtracking) disqualify him from holding his current office?

          That's fair -- in just saying that Zaid's opinion that we are more or less dumb marionettes should factor in to all conversations about discipline related to youthful offenses. As he points out that a cornerstone of crimjus reform

          The issue with Northam is that he should have disclosed this and apologized for it BEFORE the election Now that he is elected there is no other remedy other than resignation. If he didn’t know it was not the right thing to do years ago, which is possible, he surely did last year.

          I think he needs to resign. But I wonder if he’s actually sincere about having no recollection of it and doubting it’s him in the photo.That might cause him to act that way. He’s coming across as more of a clueless dufus than a psychopathic liar.

          @jessesingal can’t help it, natural processes caused him to think that this argument was good.

          The dominant response to him seems 2B gloating over his predicament, demanding he resign & acting as if he as an individual is the problem, rather than racism in society. Acting like soln is 2 get rid of him, since every1 else in VA 35 yrs ago was a flawless angel, so it's all gd
