Okay, I give up on humanity. We have turned a corner as a species. Give up. Buy a cabin in the Rockies. Stock it with powdered milk, soy beans and shotgun shells. Sit on the porch and drink tequila until the Apocalypse comes. It won't be long.
How do I know? It isn't just that this person felt the need to ask an advice columnist whether they should give back money that didn't belong to them, or if it was better to make a minimum-wage worker suffer for a petty mistake. Yes, give it back, you moral simpleton. And go see if they'll let you sit with the kidergarteners at remedial Sunday school. Obviously you missed a day.
The sign that the Four Horsemen are saddling up is that this person felt it was OKAY to even ASK this question in the first place. The writer didn't even bother to hide the craven, greedy, vindictive, evil little id that crawls around the base of his or her skull. Not that we don't all have a craven, greedy, vindictive, evil little id. We do. And some people spend there whole lives trying to beat that little bastard down and to never let it take the reins or make a command decision in our lives. Or barring that, the rest of us at the very least try to hide the nasty, twisted face of our lesser selves from public view, rather than trot it out for the neighbors to see in a nationally syndicated advice column. You're supposed to hide that you even think that crap, you ethical cretin.
I'm going to buy a bottle of tequila and read the real estate ads for Boulder.

I give them credit for feeling enough to ask -- many out there whould just pocket it and never give it another thought - sad to say.
I suppose some small credit is due. Small. Very small. It seems like some people don't even have an angel on one shoulder any more, let alone listen to him.
