You know loathe as I am to admit it, I agree with the ACLU on this one.

Sex offenders should be hanged. Failing that, they should be locked up for life. But if they are going to be allowed to run free, then they should be allowed to live wherever.

Just one of the little complications of life that should be easy to take care of but isn't, thanks to liberals and lawyers.

Flame away, if you must.

In your call for stern punishment of “sex offenders” doubtless you are thinking of those who commit forcible rape or of adults who force their sexual attentions on pre-pubescent children. You forget, perhaps, that in most of these United States as 17 year old who has sex with his 15 year old paramour, both regarding it as consensual, though the state does not, is a “sex offender”, too, and in many states is put under the same disabilities of not residing near schools, playgrounds or daycare facilities as those who commit the vile acts for which you propose execution.

Or do you, perhaps, want Sharia-style executions and honor killings of those who commit fornication? I trust not. Certainly fornication is a sin, but Christian penitentials have traditionally penanced it less severely than murder, sodomy or adultery, and our society does not seem to be minded to make it a crime, well not unless one of the fornicators is below some arbitrarily determined age which has no relationship to sexual maturity.
