Thank you for your well-worded and concise rebuttal to Imal. You said what I was trying to say FAR better than I could have.

Thank you for your well-worded and concise rebuttal to Imal. You said what I was trying to say FAR better than I could have.

That was not a rebuttal. Eagle Eye did NOT address my point at all.

And my point is this: I refuse to accept the idea that mandatory sentencing causes crime. Am I wrong to believe that mandatory sentences do not cause crime?

If so, explain how I'm wrong. Despite my amazement at what you are implying, I am willing try to follow your logic, if you're willing to present it.
