An appeal to mercy without respect for the demands of justice is a contradiction of eternal laws. It's ironic that the young men's planned lesson from this past week in our Ward was can mercy rob justice?

Even in the religious scenario with Christ as mediator the debtor must repay his debt.

Was President Hinckley appealing to mercy witout respect for the demands of justice in that talk? Am I?

Tex, knowing almost nothing about the situation, demands that justice not be applied.

Funny.

Wearing a suit for 70 hours a week, no sex in the prime of horniness, no movies, no sports, living on nothing. It's a miracle these boys (men) don't get in more trouble.
