BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT

Mel Gibson has seen his star fall and rise several times over the last few decades, from movie star to movie producer to tabloid sensation. After all, nothing kills your momentum quite like erratic public behavior.  Except drunk driving.  Or anti-semitism. Or domestic violence.

But Mr. Gibson is back, this time for a new movie in the works -- a Jewish hero epic, in fact.  The public's reaction has ranged from doubt, to amusement, to outrage.  And the question is how we, as People of the Second Chance, will react.

So ask yourself: Who Would You Give a Second Chance?  Would you give one to Mel Gibson?  Antisemitic tirades, hate-filled voicemail messages, and all?  Would you give him the benefit of the doubt as he makes a movie that many people claim he has forfeited the right to make?
