I am against the necessity of gouging one's eyes out, as Oedipus did, for such an offense. Ionesco, and Grainne too, I spent a lot of time thinking about this subject while I was over helping a neighbor reassemble a brand new greenhouse that was torn asunder by a thunderstorm within minutes after it was finished a few days ago. I think I'm going to bow out of this particular discussion. Not because I think I'm wrong or because I think you are incorrigible, but because somebody might be hurt by something one of us says. I hurt someone once by saying more than I should in an SI discussion, and I regret it. Fortunately, we are still friends. I hope. I agree with your assessment in the last paragraph of your message. Criminalizing some behaviors and decriminalizing others should be looked into. Or perhaps zoning them so people who wish to avoid their effects can do so without losing any freedom and without denying it to others. It was announced just minutes ago that the aftermath of the Jessica Lunsford murder may result in registered sex-offenders having to wear a tracking bracelet for life. That might be a more effective deterrent than the threat of a death penalty or life imprisonment.
