   I suppose if you were the parent of 5 children (including a mix of   
   infants, toddlers, juveniles & adolescents) and someone abducted them   
   all, subsequently raped them, skinned them alive, performed "surgery"   
   on them without anesthesia and posted pictures of their humiliation   
   where billions of people could see them, 10 years would seem fair to   
   you.  If this is true and you haven't already done so, may you never   
   have children.

   The concept of "inalienable rights" is meaningless if you permit   
   people to "alienate" them and get away with it.

   I'm not so impressed with those who can descramble a cable TV signal.   
   What would _really_ impress me is if they could descramble eggs.
