Writing about chopping off people's feet and hands is a waste of time and energy.<BR/><BR/>Punishment only targets the problem after it occurs. Incarceraton separates the criminal from society but does nothing about the causes of crime.<BR/><BR/>Far more effort needs to be directed toward removing the causes of criminal behavior. Decriminalization of victimless activities would be a good place to start!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-6939486050451539732007-08-22T22:02:00.000-05:002007-08-22T22:02:00.000-05:00Hey 9:47,where have you been?

Women who commit murder will be strangled and then burnt. People who illegally hunt will have their ears cut off, high treason will be punishable by being hung, drawn and quartered and slaves or servants who try to run will have a foot chopped off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-56312549827147174392007-08-22T20:48:00.000-05:002007-08-22T20:48:00.000-05:00I usually reflect on why it's wrong to show people...I usually reflect on why it's wrong to show people that kidnapping or criminal confinement is wrong by confining them in a prison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-54549800902975664252007-08-22T20:40:00.000-05:002007-08-22T20:40:00.000-05:00I usually reflect on how ironic it is that we kill...I usually reflect on how ironic it is that we kill people to punish them for killing people.
