Well, if the Magnificent 7 by some geographical freak of sentencing land
in Ontario's Kingston Penitentiary, locale for the movie "Fortune & Men's
Eyes," they'll be treated to more than just cursory cruising; on the
other hand, it might give them the opportunity to view some great drag
shows.

On the other hand, they'll be on the ungentle receiving end (no pun intended
--- I couldn't think of a better....) of the very same homophobia they real-
ized in their brutal crime.  That may not meet CCLU standards of justice,
but there is a crude "just deserts" in the Talonic equivalence and ironic
reversal in the upcoming fates of these yet-to-be prison "punks."  Before
AIDS, fag-bashers
often raped their victims before murdering them; there seems to be more
than a marginal sexual element to many of these crimes.  

Gang-rape isn't pretty, but sadistic killing is even less so.  At least the
"punks" will be permitted to continue drawing breath, whatever the resultant
states of their already screwed-up psyches.

					And justice for all?  Only 9-12
					years for murder?
