Actually, I do tend to think the sentences are a bit stiff.

But I didn't think it would kill you to be exposed to some thoughts on the other side.

Actually, I tend to be overly lenient with people--particularly in each specific situation. Philosophically I can sometimes argue a bit stiffer stance.

I'm not sure arguing that because killers etc. get only 8 years others should get less is a socially wise stance.

Interestingly, murderers in OTestament times could flee to cities of refuge and as long as they made it and stayed there and behaved themselves for a length of time, they were left alone.

Your assumptions about me are, to my mind, much more irrational and a much greater stretch and much harsher than my very minor ones about you. Yet you censure me.

Interesting.

I still suspect your chosen screen name says a lot about your personality and psychology as your post I'm responding to illustrates.

Doesn't it bother you that these poor folks have to spend the remaining days of the world in jail? Since we are in end times, shouldn't they be shown enough mercy to walk free before time ends? After all, how much harm could they cause if the WHOLE WORLD is ending soon, anyway?

Your apocalyptic view of the world is harmless, if deluded. I can see why you chose Quix as a handle, short for Quixotic, as you seem a champion for causes which sane people cannot join. However, I don't understand why you are here, where people deal with worldly matters and issues that might persist for generations. If I believed as you do, I'd retreat into monastacism, as the early Christians did when they believed in Christ's imminent return.

Since you are so interested in the term Defiant, I will tell you that it has to do with my attitude towards the police state that the Clintons and their gang of thugs had towards freedom-loving people in June 1998 when I chose this handle for this site, changing the handle I had been using for a couple years here to avoid identification that would result in visits from the Little Rock Mafia or the Janet Reno DOJ. We had people here who were regularly reporting such visits, IRS audits, etc. I was not going to acquiesce in the takeover of the government by this soft type of authoritarianism, and defiantly posted about Clinton's corruption and evil. I see the Clintons gained a convert to their way of thinking during their 8 year reign.

Interestingly, murderers in OTestament times could flee to cities of refuge and as long as they made it and stayed there and behaved themselves for a length of time, they were left alone.

Interestingly, murderers in Old Testament times might be stoned. Your point?

Your assumptions about me are, to my mind, much more irrational and a much greater stretch and much harsher than my very minor ones about you. Yet you censure me.

I wrote a one-line statement that the sentence was unjust, and you then suggested that I was drunk when I wrote it, and started asking about my screen name. Yes, I censure you for that, even while addressing the substance of your comments. You were intemperate.
