out that the incident that most recently put Mr Williams in the
gray bar hotel did not involve "hurting" anyone, nor did the
other events that brought indictment and punishment.  Perhaps it
is time for conservatives to think about the costs of a "3
strikes" law in a dollars and cents way. It is gratifying to
think that this man will commit no crimes for the next 50 years
if the full weight of the law is laid upon him. But it may be
that the public monies spent on his incarceration will reduce
monies spent on education or some other public goods creating a
lack of better choices for a young person unknown at this time.
What would you purpose be done with this individual that would
protect the rest of society from him, for the balance of his
life?  I see two choices:  1. Life in prison. 2. Termination.
