mr: you **do** understand that one of the most basic features of modern forms of justice is that the state assumes the position of victim in a criminal case. this is what enabled the modern judicial system to supercede what preceded it--you know, the logic of feud. i do not understand how folk can fantasize about a reversal of this.
and i am not at all sure where the statements above yours are coming from--that it would be a relatively good thing to get a life sentence in prison. i really dont.
unless you are implying that life under capitalism is worse than being in prison---unless you find yourself in an economically elite position---i dont understand the logic of these comments.
