\"\"<\/a>Newt Gingrich<\/a>,\u00a0 the proverbial Washington insider, is campaigning on his vision of a reformed America.<\/p>\n

Ironic.<\/p>\n

What will that vision look like? Hopefully nothing like the track record of his personal life. But to be fair, his past failures do not automatically disqualify him from the presidency.<\/p>\n

Right?<\/p>\n

After all, this is America where second chances is our staple. ‘And it isn’t over ’til it’s over.’<\/p>\n

We all subscribe to this principle in theory.<\/p>\n

But almost never in practice.<\/em><\/p>\n

I hate to sound judgmental and most people are quick to condemn the ‘judge.’ But in reality our lives are reels of judgement calls that we have had to make to survive.<\/p>\n

You don’t agree?<\/p>\n

Well then.<\/p>\n

When was the last time you formed a coalition to give the pedophile a second chance with your five-year old?<\/p>\n

And if the law allowed it, would you vote George W. Bush back into office?<\/p>\n

You would?<\/p>\n

Really?<\/p>\n

At a price of 700,000 jobs per month?<\/p>\n

Enough said.<\/p>\n

So why should we let Symantec<\/a> off the hook?<\/p>\n

Yesterday I called to ask about whether they would refund my subscription fee for PC Anywhere and I was told that ‘my supervisor will call you back.’<\/p>\n

I am still waiting.<\/p>\n

Further compounding my frustration is the reality that they deceived the public about their source code compromise. Had I known, my early January purchase of PC anywhere would not have been even a consideration.<\/p>\n

But I guess they anticipated that too.<\/p>\n

At least we know about Gingrich’s failures, but Symantec’s<\/a> lies keeps leaking in dribs and drabs.<\/p>\n
