And if you and I can agree, why can't the rest of the country??? I really want to meet someone face to face who truly supports the idea of letting convicted child rapists back out into society. Somehow, this is the law of the land, and yet oddly I've never run into anyone -- in person, or in cyberspace -- who actually admits to agreeing with it.
I truly do feel sympathy for some of these people, whose horrible mental disorder is often the result of some kind of abuse they themselves suffered in childhood. But the fact that some of them are not really responsible for the fact that they are monsters, doesn't change the fact that they ARE monsters, and that children must be protected from them at all costs.
I'd like to meet such a person as well, but I have been too busy to find out when the local chapter of the ACL freaking U has its next meeting. I'm betting there I would strike gold.
