Confusion

I completely agree and understand this.<br />n<br />n<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/08/20/build/local/55-child-porn.inc">Man gets 10 years for downloading child pornography</a> <br />n<br />nWhat really confusaes me is that this man gets 10 years for downloading child pornography while <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?display=rednews/2004/08/17/build/wyoming/55-tent-death.inc">this</a> women only gets 2 1/2 years for killing a child and <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?display=rednews/2004/08/11/build/local/30-daycare-death.inc">this</a> women only gets 5 years for killing a child. Now I mentioned the second one and my feelings on it <a href="http://www.nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/000520.html">here</a> and nobody commented on my conclusion that 5 years for killing a child is wrong.<br />n<br />nSo can somebody explain to me why it costs a person, in jail time, less to kill a child than to download child pornography? Seems like our values aren't all that properly in line here, but I'm just a stupid cowboy who doesn't understand all these modern complicated things. They just confuse me. A long rope and a tree would fix these things right up.<br />n<br />n<b>The confusion is not my invention. We cannot listen to a conversation for five minutes without being aware of the confusion. It is all around us and our only chance now is to let it in. The only chance of renovation is to open our eyes and see the mess. It is not a mess you can make sense of. Samuel Beckett</b>
