[Harrison Bergeron]

"And I am sorry, but I just cannot feel compassion for the pedophile whose car is blown up, or home set on fire, or is otherwise run out of town because a neighborhood is armed with such knowledge."

Well, generally, the only address a convict can give to the judge before he gets out of prison is that of the next of kin. Meanwhile, the pervert holes up somewhere else - usually neareby - when he gets out, and Grammas porch gets set ablaze, dad get's beaten with a baseball bat, or mom's kitty gets hung from a lamp post.

Those are the documented results of Megan's Law. If that's your brand of justice, you're no conservative.

Really? Then put your money where your mouth is, and provide citiations, with URL's so I can see these things for myself.

And it sounds to me you would much rather have convicted child molesters walking the streets in anonymity, where they can continue to harm kids. If that is your brand of justice, I would not be so quick to call yourself a conservative, either, if you do.
