AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of exoneration and accountability, referencing a previous pope's verdict and the implications of double jeopardy laws. The speaker humorously exonerates the Pope for past actions, particularly in relation to Christmas carols, while expressing a commitment to seek out the true perpetrator of a crime. There is also a mention of historical figures, such as the Romans and Darth Vader, highlighting a playful take on responsibility and self-defense in various contexts. The conversation blends serious themes of justice with lighthearted commentary.

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
