The subject of the article was the prevalence of hollow and insincere apologies that we hear these days. Since I work daily in a career that is so directly affected by the lending industry, this paragraph jumped out at me:
"What lies ahead for the Great American Mea Culpa? Obviously, at some point, it would be nice if some representative of the banking industry came forward and apologized for ruining life as we know it. The correct way to do so would be to say: "I'm really sorry that my colleagues and I in the banking industry deliberately designed a gigantic, intercontinential Ponzi scheme that has brought the global economy to a standstill and impoverished our children for generations. Mere words cannot tell you how sorry we are. If it's any consolation at all, we promise we will never do it again."
