^ That's not surprising around here. I don't care what you guys think about me. I already know that I have controversial opinions that are better suited to the anti-porn crowd. Yet I still like hardcore porn, and I don't want it to be eliminated nor severely limited -- only reformed. And, as has been demonstrated with Lubben, some of the anti-porn people have views or motives more extreme than I will accept.

I just think that Max won't learn anything unless he's given a little "eye for an eye" justice. Taxpayers are paying for his apparently pleasant stay in prison. Regardless of how and why he got there, he is there, and he should learn something worthwhile from it. But I will allow the possibility that he already has (he's lost his alcohol addiction and claims he'll "emerge from this prison a better man").

Anyway, I'll agree with you that this discussion is getting old.
