All I can say is that its a tragedy across the board. I don't believe in imprisonment. I think there are only three just penalties for crimes; death, exile, and differing degrees of horse whippings. Monetary penalties should be reserved for civil repairations.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
Edgar Allan Poe
