Turkey Day Prep!

Brian and I went to Whole Foods tonight to pick up our turkey. 17.5 lbs for 3 people, all because Brian's afraid he won't get enough dark meat. Sigh. Now I just need to figure out the brining deal, and we'll be good to go.

On the way home we talked about sexual predators. I guess he saw an alert at work that a sexual offender was moving into our neighborhood, and got to talking to one of his coworkers about it. My personal view is that the way we treat sexual offenders after they leave prison violates their civil liberties. If they are sentenced to 5 years and then released, why should they then be subject to a lifetime of half a life? If the issue is that they need to be locked up for life, then lock them up for life. I know this is an unpopular argument because many people have a knee-jerk reactions to the concept of sexual crimes.
