Nor did I express any views on her sentence nor on the police investigation. In logic, your response is called a "straw man."<BR/><BR/>Nor were my comments ad hominem. Please look up the term. "Ad hominem" refers to attacking a person instead of the argument that person is presenting. That's not the frame in which I positioned my comments about Karla Homolka. Nor does it accurately describe my comments about Eleanor Clitheroe.Dr.Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416571487451925246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13775438.post-1120585893399901102005-07-05T13:51:00.000-04:002005-07-05T13:51:00.000-04:00Dawg,Ad hominem attacks are unbecoming.Karla Homol...Dawg,<BR/><BR/>Ad hominem attacks are unbecoming.<BR/><BR/>Karla Homolka, no matter what you think of her personally, has served her time.<BR/><BR/>Period.<BR/><BR/>That you personally don't agree with the sentence is irrelevant. That you think she is "evil" is irrelevant. She was convicted in a court of law, sentenced to a term in prison and has served that term. She is now free.<BR/><BR/>If that bothers you, call Ottawa Police Chief Vince Bevan and ask him why his task force failed to find the video tapes in the light fixture, despite having alegedly searching the hosue for a week before they were removed by Bernardo's lawyer. If she is a truly as dangerous as the media is pointing out, why wasn't she deemed to be adangerous offender. That designation would have kept her in jail indefinitely.<BR/><BR/>Paul Bernardo is in jail for the rest of his natural life. To do that we had to make a deal with Karla. Like it or not, we have to live up to that deal, or our laws mean nothing.<BR/><BR/>Besides, putting your feeling asided, there is the remote possiblity that she is telling the truth - that she is a follower, that she didn;t kill the girls. maybe she has changed while in jail.<BR/><BR/>It was a guy named Jesus that told people to forgive. He didn't say forgive when its easy, he simply said forgive.<BR/><BR/>Maybe THAT'S what the article was really about.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941875334878452635noreply@blogger.com
