>>> >>> I grant that rape is a terrible (more so for men raped >>> by other men) crime. However, if the condition is a identifiable >>> medical condition, then rapist does not deserve to be castrated >>> or sent to prison, but rather treated. I don't know--all these "the devil made me do it" defenses lately make me sick. How about treatment AND a prison sentence? Rape is hardly a crime of passion. These poor over-testosteroned guys somehow can bear the pain long enough to carefully plan their attacks. And how come they have to rape someone to appease their glands? There are all sorts of benign, if not actually healthy, ways to satisfy one's sexual urges that don't involve innocent bystanders. The same is true for violent urges. The sicko who cannot separate the two must learn to do so or be locked away, as hormones are surely not responsible for his confusion. -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 18 Jan 84 [29 Nivose An CXCII] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7261 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!ihuxq!ken *** ***
