Spending the rest of your life in prison wouldn't be very fair to your wife and daughter.

no, it would not. But then again, I don't think I would brag about it on a bulletin board if I did it. Nor do I think I would do it at noon at the corner of First and Broad, downtown.

I don't know. I have never taken a human life, and I am sure taking one would affect me far more than prison would. The earlier statement is not just ego testosterone. It is a result of living with a child (now a young woman), and seeing a beautiful being who has brought us so much joy, where society largely sees a "throwaway person." I also knew a girl who was retarded in my home town who was involved in several gangbangs. Combining those three things (the girl in this story, my daughter, and the girl in my hometown) just made me think "What if it was Leslie?" (not her real name). I just don't know if I could take it. Sometimes I just wonder how the heart of God stands all the evil in the world. Just my own is enough to make me shudder sometimes. I guess I just see it clearer when people can coldly take advantage of someone with diminished capacities.
