Ah, the three sheep and five goats for your loss system of justice, eh? I 
realize were fighting in Afghanistan to preserve that way of life, but I;m not 
sure we need to adopt it here as a consequence

Don's post, I think is right on point, as was Jim Oppenheimer's yesterday.

As you know, I think the smarmiest people in the world are those with a DSM at 
home who like to pull it out and do amateur diagnoses, so I don’t want to get 
too deep into this, but . . .

I some of the desire to "throw the book" at Heather Cook here reflective more of 
her betrayal, as TEC people who love value a range of things about our church 
and its people?

Obviously,it's not about justice for Heather Cook. Id she were treated like 
others in her circumstance, it would be far more likely she'd get five years of 
probation than a 20 years sentence and 13 years probation.

Cheers,
Jim Guthrie
