5. I have a cousin who is a registered sex offender in the State of Florida.

Apparently, he got off on looking at online kiddie porn. He's nearly 86, and I can't recall the last time I saw him. He started out as a grade school teacher in Chicago, then owned a hardware store downtown. His wife's job saw them transferred to New York. They eventually retired to Florida.

They have to have made good money over the years, yet they now live in a manufactured home that Zillow values at $121,000. His legal bills must have been enormous, and I think that he served time in prison.

I want nothing to do with him because I'm repulsed by what he did. Yet some other family members are far more forgiving of what he did. I don't get it. It's sick.

Epstein's and drumpf's crimes were far worse. All of them are unforgivable to me.
