I myself employ an ex drug dealer he was sentanced to 9 yrs served 4.5 and i have never regretted it ,without me he would most likely have re-offended or simply be sitting on the dole for the rest of his life either way costing the tax payer fortunes instead of being a net contributor

Great post! Mind you, that was before I read you'd employed a former drug dealer so I'm cancelling my order and going to make sure you never work again...
