So old Alan returns to his 1960's viewpoints now that the damage is done  ?

In my dream scenario a whole host of these type liars would be found guilty hauled out to a stone quarry and handed sledgehammers and be told to start making crushed stone for driveways out of boulders for the rest of their days.  Some good honest hard work might change their views and attitudes.  

Think opening scene of Rambo 2 at the stone quarry.
