  OK, I confess. I recklessly loaned my phone to someone I didn’t know well. I also recklessly stopped to help a woman whose car had broken down. Then I recklessly paid for a man’s lunch when he couldn’t do so himself. Any one of them could have been a terrorist. I plead guilty. Please lock me up. I’m a danger to society. I’d rather die in prison for reckless acts of kindness than live a free man in a country where love, mercy and compassion are outlawed.
