Well fork me, that all makes sense even down to the sensible shoes analogy.

If our leaders - conventionally the government, but sometimes others
Replying to Chris and DeepRed - leadership - the Key factor is the ommssion of competence.

Hard News: Living with the psychopath, in reply to Russell Brown,
You surely are not suggesting this is such a case, though?
My comments about permanent incarceration/preventative detention are directed at Stewart Murray Wilson situation.
As regards Robert Hall he caused injuries to his daughter for a period of four months from Nov 2010 through to March 2011 which included both legs broken - one leg in four places - and he prevented the infant's mother from seeking treatment.
Should Hall have caused the degree of grevious bodily harm he visited on his daughter to an adult he woudl have received a prison sentence.
The sentence of home detention for Hall seems to me to ivolve a loss of contact with reality. It places children and the harm they suffer at a lower rung than that of adults. That is the basis of my objection to the sentence.
Violent harm visited upon a child or an infant does irreparable damage to their psyche, how they relate to the world around them in the formative years. I would say that Hall offending is evil - though he is not old enough to have a long history.
To my mind Hall needs a prison sentence - I don't feel home detention will help him in the long term.

I don't agree with your statements.
There must always be the chance for redemption.
Justice does require the appropriate punishment of transgressors and compensation, so far as that is possible, for victims, but it must also include the opportunity for redemption and forgiveness..
I feel the criminal justice system falls well short in providing appropriate punishment - the sentences passed for violent and sexual offending particularly against children are at times woeful as to be insignificant.
This being an example of a ridiculous sentence.:
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10826832There is evil doing and people that possess evil such that there is no possibility of redemption. In these instances permanent incarceration seems best.
It appears to me the social fabric of NZ is frayed beyond repair - it is not as if schools, health and education are resourced adequately and that doesn't leave criminal justice as regards provision of a chance for rehabilitation as being in a good place.
I can't see that the NZ is on the right track in so many areas - an example is youth unemployment is presently running at 25% and it isn't a consideration of any political consquence.

An excellent article
We, too, are human -- and thus should we behave. Let's protect others from him, and let him live out the days until he dies, unmourned. Let us demonstrate, as we believe, that we are better than Stewart Murray Wilson.
Well said.

The Curiosity probe so unsettled the Martians - they mucked it up and hired the Spice Girls rather than the Mysterons to deal to the city of London.

All property and thought is forfeit to First Citizen, he wields total power for his sake and the sake of Party Faithful, of course it was on tape – everything is – but it is only the exciting bits they order pizza and gather round for drinks.
