So.. Bernie Madoff is getting 150 years in the clink.. why not life? Well now.. there are several reasons - not least of which is to serve as a deterrent for other offenders. Imagine it! 100 years in jail after he dies.. who wants to rob their investors now?
We shouldn't get too worked up about Madoff though; he only stole money. Mostly from people who could easily afford it. To my mind, the greatest criminals are found in the animal kingdom: only today I saw a cat walking along with a dead mouse in its mouth.. and drakes! Drakes are notorious rapists. Each generation of ducklings is born into an endless cycle of abuse. Come to think of it, cats have barbed penises, as well - and don't get me started on blue whales.. they eat millions of plankton every day! Do you believe every animal has a soul? Kill those whale!
I seem to have wandered off piste.. what I'm trying to say is: Lots of pretty powerful people think that the English are the most evil race in the world; Isn't it time we all took a look at ourselves and stopped beating on Bernie Madoff?
