KANNE, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I join Judge Sykes in her concurrence. I write further to add that although Judge Posner has envisioned an interesting method to arrive at an appropriate sentence in individual cases, it is my view that such a unique system would be fundamentally unworkable in practice and contrary to the statutory provisions enacted by Congress and approved by the Supreme Court.
Judge Posner, of course, recognizes that in this case we cannot command the alternative approach to sentencing he suggests. Therefore, I join Judge Posner and Judge Sykes in affirming the sentence that the district court imposed.
