Sometimes there's no alternative. I understand that, and honestly, to take the side that I mentioned above would be very slightly hypocritical. It's a shame. I think kb's right below, though his usual brusque manner is in full force.
| his usual brusque manner is in full force.| uh... this blew up in my face. Apparently by stating I have "little pity" for some one was interpreted as: I hope they die and rot in a shallow grave, unremembered by any living soul. This of course is not the case. I've already reached out to kleinbl00 privately, but I should say for the record, I'm not judging anyone or damning anyone for their behavior. I have some pity for them because in these cases, the punishment does not seem to fit the crime. As far as nuance goes, no, I'm not the smartest guy in the room, but as originally stated, I don't agree with the author that higher taxes, increased punishments, or more governement involvement is the answer. Rather, solving our crime problem is much more nuanced, requiring efforts in the personal/social/familial elements of our lives. Thanks for the personal attack though.But that's a bit too nuanced for you.
