Political correctness? Now, there's a most amusing accusation. First off, what I said is hardly politically correct these days. Second, if you've read any significant number of my posts, you would know why I am amused at being termed politically correct. Third, in this case, I'm basically just correct, unless you would like to depart from the policy of assuming a (wo)man to be innocent until proven guilty. For while he has been proven guilty of past misdeeds, there is at this time no proof of future misdeeds, else you would have taken the necessary steps already, yes? And if a society is not willing to put the past misdeed behind them after time served, there is really no reason for an offender not to offend again, and also no reason for a society to give them a second chance at all. Anyway, it's too late to continue this, and it's not the right thread for it; if you care to argue, I take PMs. Health, al-Aswad.
