I am *not* saying that we should not punish wrongdoers. But we should
apply the appropriate punishment, and only the appropriate punishment,
in a consistent manner.

Tell that to the Magistrate in Devon who sentenced an 80 year old woman
to a fortnight in jail for failure to pay her T.V. licence, then I might
accept your "appropriate punishment".
