Past Senate and current Presidential candidate Robert Francis O'Rourke felt a need to apologise for his adolescent fiction, which he posted online. You might be surprised what you posted back then. I know that when I've gone back and reviewed my own history I've been surprised what I posted for posterity as a kid. I didn't understand that it'd be out there for the rest of my life.
- CamperBob2 8y agoI didn't understand that it'd be out there for the rest of my life. Neither did anyone else, which means it isn't going to matter in the long run for anyone who is just starting out today. If everybody has skeletons in their closet, no one does. And everybody pretty much does. Remember that one of the two major parties in the US has willfully abandoned any pretense at moral authority by supporting Trump. The only threat Beto faces in that regard comes from his own party. The correct reaction would be for him to own his juvenile fiction, not apologize for it.
