I guess my point was, there are people who say 'good riddance' to this guy because he 'broke the law', and for no other reason. Morally, he didn't do anything wrong, he put seeds in an envelope and attached a postage stamp. Legally, he's going to jail. There's a disconnect there that I'm not comfortable with... and I know, I know, my comfort level is inconsequential 'because the law is the law', end of debate. It's just too bad that that's the case...

Whole different can of beans here.
