I can see that you read very well. Thinking and feeling is, of course, another matter altogether.

I am deeply disturbed by the lack of civility in our society and spoke on that issue here, often opposed by a great numbers of FReepers. I would be delighted if the judge has punished a person that, indeed, pays no respect to the public and the court. A fine would be great: it would teach a lesson and send a message.

But JAILING for that transgression? Only the Nazis and Russian cmmies could fall so low. Your remark shows why both of these types of thugs came and held power: they were supported by people like you, who appear to have no sence of measure when it comes to power.

Shame on the judge. Shame on me. Shame on all of us in this country for making this possible.

In the old days they would put you in stocks for uttering profanity on the street. Society has become too lenient. Take care of little things like this, and the big things take care of themselves.
