Somebody needed to pay for it.

And to me, it just seems like we're just going to throw these things out, gather people together until we get some that believe it.

And unfortunately, I was in the group that believed it.

I felt a lot of grief, shame, guilt for having been a part of this.

I'm a pretty even-keeled person.

I'm not a crier.

You know how some people cry about anything.

That's not my go-to.

I'm not a big crier, but any time this subject comes up, it is like grief deep in my soul, and I just get very emotional.
