SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.

Tenants who are late on their rent will face a maximum 8 percent penalty under a bill signed into law by Gov. Tim Pawlenty Tuesday.
It was one of several provisions in an overhaul of tenant-landlord rules that according to Sen. Scott Dibble, DFL-Minneapolis, was long overdue.
The law also restricts landlords from collecting screening fees from potential tenants to a one-search-at-a-time basis, and requires landlords to reveal the criteria they use to eliminate potential renters. Both of those provisions will reduce the amount of up-front money people looking to rent housing might have to pay while searching, said Ron Elwood, a staff attorney at the Legal Services Advocacy Project, which worked on the bill.
But would-be tenants also have to toe a new line. Under the new law they'll be liable for civil damages and fines if they lie or leave out key information on their applications.
Chapter 315 linked above.
So the DFL proposed a new bill that allows landlords to charge a fine on late rent and hold tenants liable for civil damages and fines?
A bunch of your heads are exploding right about now.

Right on Eric. And the DFL shortened the time period required for holding abandoned property from 60 days to 28 days. Great progress, eh landlords?
Oh sorry, this is the anti-DFL spin zone (full of dumb-ass's).
Tenants liable for civil damages? They may as well write the judgement out on toilet paper so the landlord can wipe their butts with it. Most tenants are judgement proof.
