Musings from a Liberal
Howling Latina has the core belief that if criminals pose no threat to society, there are better ways for society to exact justice than hard prison time for every law breaker.
And in keeping with my worldview, HL hopes the judge in Houston shows mercy to Kennie-boy and his pal Jeffey Skilling.
Although millions of lives were affected by the implosion of Enron, and thousands of people lost their life savings, plenty of folks who did a whole lot of worst (like lie us into war, order-up torture, trash the Constitution, and so on) are still walking the free earth.
Personally, I think Lay and Skilling should have to do community service and no hard prison time; for what does vengeance profit a society when true justice is better served through mercy?
My thoughts on the matter are that every individual possesses a redemptive spirit; and each person should have the chance to amend past wrongs through atoning good deeds.
There are ample ways Lay and Skilling can put their knowledge to work on behalf of people in Harris County, Texas and America.

I dunno guys; there are an awful lot of folks queuing up to the "pardon" line.
Remember, Bush cut Kennie loose a long, long time ago.
