After having just attended a conference at which Ed Meese spoke I can hardly disagree. I'll take my murderers any old day. I'd trust them with real power a lot more than I would Meese, which isn't saying much considering the baseline -- sort of like Doug's remark that English food has improved a lot. But that still doesn't make the incarcerated the revolutionary vanguard, even if some them are far more pleasant and trustworty than Meese.
