Since you have replied to my private request in public, let me thank you
in public too :-) Usually, in this medium, people prefer private replies
to private questions. But, it's okey, given the fact that it shouldn't
bother us to air what we believe and think in private with what we can
say in public.
It's always sad and unsettling that anyone goes behind bars for whatever
conviction s/he might have. But there're two faces to a coin. The first
face was posted by you. I would like to see for myself the lines and
wrinkles of the first face and then perhaps know what the other face
looks like.
The worst thing that can happen to a human being, a social animal, is to
limit him or her to four walls. It can happen to anyone, and anyone should
be concerned. It's not an issue of philosophizing and debating. It's a
matter of demanding that morality and legality be observed, no matter how
divergent one's lifestyle and convictions are.
