Do you know what it's like being in prison? Me neither. But I've known
people who've been in there.

Rapists and muggers, fine, I won't shed a tear for them. A cruel punishment
is appropriate for cruel men. But people who typed stuff on a computer
keyboard? Do you understand what's going to happen if you allow your
government to imprison people for that?

I stand by my original comment.
