What should we make of it?

In the Roanoke times, on Friday, May 11th, it was right at the top of the front page, but few people appeared to be paying much attention. The real good parts were the names, but they were hidden on page 8. Probably even fewer got that far into the article.

For the record, here they are again:
MICHAEL FRIEDMAN - President and CEO
HOWARD UDELL - Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer
PAUL GOLDHEIM - Former Executive Vice President of Worldwide Medical Affairs

These three men were responsible for the deaths of some 200 people in Virginia alone. Nationwide, how many deaths took place as a result af the actions of these greedy men? Thousands, no doubt! Add to that the families, the addiction, the crime, the children uncared for, or without fathers, or mothers and you have a crime of unspeakable proportions.

Nice to know, isn't it, that for these crimes these three men served not a single day of time in prison. Even though they completely deserve to spend, not a long time, but a life time, behind bars for what they did, they will serve not a single day! To add to the injury to all that is right and good about America, the fines levied against the three must have amounted to chump change for them. I am sure they have not been taken down to Beanie-Wienies.

On Sunday, Dan Radmacher told us, in his column in the Roanoke Times, what we owe to our troops. We certainly owe them everything Dan said. Don't we also owe them an America where people, especially really bad people, pay for their crimes, not live in the lap of luxury.
