all real crime is theft.
all real crime is theft -in one way or another- of the victim's time.
time is the one thing which, once expended, cannot be replaced... and no one knows how much time they have until they use it all up.
in that way, time is the essential possession of human life, and any theft of any of it is, in this wise, murder.

"... time is the essential possession of human life, and any theft of any of it is, in this wise, murder" No wonder I hate sleep.

Hi all!
Looks like I have quite a bit to catch up on.

Glad I'm not the only one to have drawn that conclusion. Well said.
Now, how do we get the rest of these oxygen thieves to stop stealing our lives?

That's true, KP. And it explains why victims feel so violated, and why from that first offense, they continue to look over their shoulders.
This would have been really funny if I didn't need the beat-up $500 grocery-getter. I can't afford to replace it.
