You're cut off

Minnesota state legislator Tom Emmer of Delano proposed stricter punishments for sex offenders in a bill introduced today. Emmer wants judges to be able to order castration for cruel and repeat offenders. The castration would take place chemically by feeding men female-hormone drugs.

While I do agree with tougher penalties for all crimes including sex offenses, I think the idea of castration is ridiculous and borders on cruel and unusal punishment. We don't cut the arms off of men who beat their wives. Lock them up and throw away the key if you have to, but don't start eliminating body parts.
