    Cheaper too.

      I doubt that he would be put with the general population. Probably more like this:

        What do you want to see him get?
        Cosby will serve “no less than three years and no more than 10 years,” Judge Steven O’Neill said Tuesday, adding that the actor also must pay a fine and court costs.

        • This should probably go in the hot topics section.
          WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton said Sunday that her husband’s presidential affair with Monica Lewinsky wasn’t an abuse of power — because the then-22-year-old White House intern “was an adult.”…

          Seems really tone deaf on her part to me, but I know she has diehard supporters in the room.

            I agree, totally tone deaf.

            I'll add, though, that I think it has always been a typical wife response. My wife has told me, when I've brought this up about HRC, that if I cheated on her with one of my young college aged students, she would, of course, want to kill me, but she would also feel much more anger than compassion for the young woman who slept with her husband. I think most women, historically, if they were being honest, would feel that way, even if now, it is safer to lie and pretend they'd want to embrace a younger woman who did this with their husband and say "you poor dear." Of course, there is a difference when it comes to physical coercion or career threats/blackmail, but when we are talking about consensual affairs, even if the person is much younger and works for the older person in power, the natural response is anger and hatred, not compassion. If I found out my wife was sleeping with one of her college aged male students, I know my emotional response to that young man would not be compassion.

                We are all in agreement that it is wrong.
