Oh, BTW, I went back and look at my Speer book (which I originally read back in college), and I noticed that he was only sentenced to 20 years! I don't know where I got the idea that he served a life sentence. Amazing that someone like that would only get 20 years.

I think blood lust gets tired after awhile. Just look at how many Americans are now tired of wiping out Iraqis and Afghans.

Or if you've graded hundreds of papers like I have, after awhile you tend to get more lenient. I used to try to counteract that by grading them alphabetically and then the next time backwards. Don't know if it worked, though.
