But on this particular morning, I listened more purposefully for one repetitive theme: the variety of sins people were committing.<i><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv4446819587ydpa115ea73MsoNormal\">Here\u2019s what I had heard: A TV celebrity pled guilty for having bribed a college boards grader to falsify her daughter\u2019s test score so she could qualify for a more prestigious university. Her sin: fraud. A famous golfer\u2019s bartender drank and drove himself into eternity. His Sin: drunkenness. A\u00a0man using a machete hacked to death one person and left another for dead on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. His sin: murder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv4446819587ydpa115ea73MsoNormalCxSpMiddle\">Now aside from the obvious, that the plethora of sins being committed all around us can cause some serious depression, there\u2019s something else that simultaneously may be going on: we may grow smug.
