Arias Sentenced
A couple of last comments before I ignore you altogether, troll:
1) I have no problems with 70-year-olds being held to the law. My comment involved that bit of attitude known as "compassion" in a situation in which 21 months is a huge part of what's left of the man's life. That is obviously something you know nothing about. Add to that the physical impact of incarceration, and it multiplies the situation. 2) My understanding from involved individuals (on both sides, I might add) is that there really is no proof that any illegal plants were collected or transferred across borders. The original charges were of conspiracy to do so, but in an effort to avoid lengthy and costly trials, guilty pleas were offered. Have you never heard of that happening before? OK. One last comment: read the last seven letters of your reply address aloud to yourself. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! ..

I neither condone or support smuggling, poaching, stripping or anything of the sort. Maybe I'm just feeling sorry for a 70-year old... Jerk. You don't believe 70 year olds should be forced to follow laws, and you accuse me of an idiotic response? - -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .

Your support of orchid smuggling is going to be mentioned on other forums, where conservation is more of an issue. I hope you don't mind. - theoneflasehaddock theoneflasehaddock |
