The rate of recidivism during her tenure dropped, in some cases, dramatically. When I'm told not to worry because some rapist has been put away in jail, that hardly makes me feel good. It means he'll be released from prison when my daughter is a gorgeous teenager. I would feel better if I was told that while in jail the rapist was going through some seriously transformative program, by which his life was revitalized and his sanity returned. What we do to others, we ultimately are doing to ourselves.
Spiritual law is inescapable and inviolate.
As you punish others, you shall be punished. I don't see them changing so much. Editors express their opinions now and hopefully they will express their opinions then. Sometimes, I agree with them, and sometimes, I don't. With freedom comes ethical responsibility, way too often ignored these days.
