How is jail time going to help her if she has a mental disorder? She should be institutionalized in a psychiatric facility where she can get professional help and kept away from the public.[/quote]As I said in an earlier post – it seems that she knew what she was doing was wrong. If she wasn’t willing to voluntarily get help, how successful do you think a government entity is going to be in forcing help upon her (for example, in a state run mental hospital). She was a well paid agent living in La Jolla. Are you suggesting that she didn’t understand that therapy was available around just about any corner? And I agree that she sounds like a sadist, a condition which almost never responds to therapy.
Like it or not – there are two dual goals to the penal system. The first is retribution or punishment. The second is rehabilitation. If you eliminate the first, the only deterrent you have is threatening people with therapy. Hmm.
ParticipantIn addition, it is clear that she knew that what she was doing was wrong and did nothing to help herself (such as voluntarily admitting herself to a psychiatric hospital). A potential jail term is one of the few threats that society can use to get people (and their families) to do something before a situation such as this one gets out of hand. It may not be her fault that she has a mental disorder, but it is her fault that she didn’t try to do something about it and/or protect society from her problem.

Interesting. The Unabomber was also well-educated (PhD in Mathematics).[/quote]Is your conclusion that all well educated people are the same as the Unabomber?
I think you might need to go back and take a course or two in logic.My point is this – it is economically impossible to eliminate cancer causing compounds from the environment. The question is the level at which toxic chemicals actually cause biological injury. Spreading pseudoscience doesn’t do anyone any good.
