The crime, coupled with the fact that she has endured years of intrusive media attention, means you are right that Polanski should be made to face the music.measuredhttp://twitter.com/measurednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001121738545655196.post-59813115613981842082009-10-02T00:15:35.533+01:002009-10-02T00:15:35.533+01:00"Even in a libertarian society, what Polanski..."Even in a libertarian society, what Polanski did would be regarded as a serious crime."<br /><br />Perhaps moreso.<br /><br />I don't know the details of the case but (natural libertarian sympathy with the difficulties of absolute age-restrictions aside) taking advantage of a vulnerable person and forcibly having sex with them would likely be viewed with far less equivocation and punished accordingly in such a society.Renegade Parenthttp://www.renegadeparent.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001121738545655196.post-18393923101239279102009-09-30T22:49:55.082+01:002009-09-30T22:49:55.082+01:00If you are a friend of the king then murder is not...If you are a friend of the king then murder is not a crime, but if you are his enemy then picking your nose is.<br /><br />bethyadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9001121738545655196.post-19306094970292021842009-09-30T21:16:30.418+01:002009-09-30T21:16:30.418+01:00The most obvious conclusion that one can draw is t...<i>The most obvious conclusion that one can draw is that those who work in the film industry, must, as a group, rank even lower that politicians. </i><br /><br />Yes, they probably do.<br /><br />Perhaps the worst of this case is the plea bargain.
