I thank Donna for opening us up to this topic. I've tossed more than a 
few (albeit snarky) posts out there but let me be sure to add this - to 
answer Donna's question -

Once sacred were commitments, promises, contracts, oaths, handshake 
agreements, innocent life; however, none of these were ever universally 
sacred.  Since time's beginning there's been the good and the bad. The 
good news is that we are free to live well, set good example, and be 
open to rebuke and accountability.
