"but whole life imprisonment - absolutely." No solution has ever been found to the problem of what to do with sick people who commit crimes Insanity is a mental illness in any medical dictionary - "criminal insanity" is a contradiction in terms, surely ? Society's revenge against those who don't live up to our expectations seems nearer the mark Society has yet to come to terms with the contradictions of how it treats sex, per se A woman who brings a rape accusation is often judged on how she dresses when reaching a verdict, yet we live in a society that pressurises women to dress to please and titlate men A wonan is condemned if she likes sex "too much" - sexual history is a major ploy in any defence arguments A man is admired for his ability to "pull birds" Pornography is a salable commodity - divided into "hard" and "soft" and the barrier between toe two is narrowing Gibbon could have managed another six volumes with his hands in his pockets Jim
