That's more serious, but it's also the smallest number you've mentioned
so far.

Perhaps they're using they're income to pay off debts related to bakrupt
businesses?

I'm pro-legalisation, what do I care.

At what point in their life (I believe in second chances)

About what exactly? The bankrupt businesses again? Custody cases
resulting from adultery? Claims by nutty women claiming they've parented
their children?

I think this is the only one seriously worrying me...

My first guess was "The White House" but the real answer is quite funny
too. But ehm, they're supposed to reflect the people, right?

Interesting, but in all of the above, they may have been accused of or
arrested for crimes or are appearing in lawsuits, however please
remember that *everyone* has the right to be "Presumed Innocent Until
Proven Guilty" and if they are not found guilty, then, in the eyes of
the law they are innocent.
If we start going along the path of "there's no smoke without fire" or
expecting them to be "perfect" then how different is that from Goggins
et al implying that "if people look at the stuff we want to ban, they
could be rapists or murderers, so it's better to be safe than sorry"?
Cheers,
Graham.
