David Frum: We're on the razors edge here between creating a culture where everything becomes me and mine versus you and yours. He says there are limits to sort of the way in which consequences are imposed. Frum asks, if i have been wronged, what is it that's better for me as a person been wronged? Or would i want to see what's coming to them?

How do we determine if apologies are sincere and the offending party is worthy of an opportunity for repentance and repair? Join David and Curtis as they discuss this timely topic and offer some guidance for how we can make some space for grace in our public discourse.
