quoth Mike Lorrey---
: I would expect that criminals would have the choice themselves of either
: being executed if they refused remorse, or imprisonment from life on
: downward with remorse and a commitment to restitution. A truly guilty
: criminal without remorse is merely a mad dog to be put down.
Ugh. To make a life depend on conventional manifestations
of a conventional emotion? Would you kill someone for saying,
"My thoughts are all I have left of privacy; they are not for you"?
(see also the parole hearing in _The Shawshank Redemption_)
