I should like to discuss the Californian proposal to reduce the "Three Strikes and You're Out" law. I think it's a good idea, as it seems unduly harsh to me.

What do others believe?

Mr Mephisto

PS - I'm a smoker and I believe they should be taxed. The same goes for alcohol. Both of these habits not only kill their abusers, but also innocent people who have nothing to do with the original abuse (passive smoking, drunk driving etc). No one gets hurt because some fatty eats more burgers....

PPS - This is a great idea for a thread. Maybe we can discuss some finer points of these elections/proposals, rather than the Bush v Kerry stuff...
