Part of that's being Irish. The other part's being Catholic. My father was a good man, and maybe that helped. Everyone has experience, Shaw. You can't get through life without it. The difference comes in the type. I'm sure some of the men I've put in jail have had experiences that led them down that path in a way they couldn't fight against. Others made it theirs. Owned it. Experience doesn't make you a good or bad person. That's the whole argument behind nature vs nurture. You just have to decide where you want to be in life and how you want to get there.
