[QUOTE="pharrer2103@sbcglobalenet, post: 3225989, member: 155126"] My only question, is where was such cunning logic when discussing the merits of the DP on this thread? Unfortunately, the quoted statement above gave rise to this comment:I find the only *flaw* with the above scenario, to be with making these prisons "nice enough." Instead, I propose making the living conditions as scant as possible, with hopes that the suicide rate would be astronomical. Another observation made by our friend, smitty:Well, since LBR has adequately illustrated how "naming & shaming" can be problematic, the use of such tactics should be questioned by any rational individual. Nonetheless, a simple internet vendetta is something within the grasp of the "common man" to do in retaliation to the lack of adequate sentencing. IMO, it's not the NAMING part that is particularly dangerous (this is the information age, after all), but rather the SHAMING aspect of this tactic which is most likely the culprit for mob mentality getting out of control. Take note that the mapping tools, as cited by use in the state of California, seem to work well in informing people of the whereabouts of these scoundrels, without it resulting in chaotic chase scenes (akin to those found in Shelly's classic: Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus). And lastly, I tip my hat to Blade96. (for providing us all with much needed comic relief, per post #51 - MEOW!) [/QUOTE]
