We've all got bad stuff in our past. What ya saw with me wasn't the worst. My outlaw days were far from the worst. When I got all scared in the 1950s wasn't even that bad. Maybe I got lucky that no one saw the badder stuff? I dunno. But I'm pretty sure no country's gonna blame ya for having dark days. I'm not saying you have to be okay with it, but it shouldn't stop you from doing what you want. You just can't let that fear rule you.
