[QUOTE]Originally posted by FawnDoo: [QB] You know what, speaking as a Scottish person who is in the unusual position of agreeing with the SNP on something, I'd sooner we lived in a society with the capacity for compassion than the alternative - I'd even go so far as to say I agree with the Church's stance on this one: "It is not about whether he deserves compassion, it is about whether we have the capacity to give it and it is really important for the fullness of our humanity that we remain capable of showing mercy. This decision has sent a message to the world about what it is to be Scottish. I understand the deep anger and grief that still grips the souls of the victims' families and I respect their views. But to them I would say justice is not lost in acting in mercy." Good grief, it feels weird to be talking about the SNP and the Church, and be agreeing with them both. I also agree with Lee's point - the conviction was never exactly watertight, was it? So, just to sum up - that's me agreeing with Salmond (yeek), the Church (yikes) and Lee. What one should I be most worried about? [/QB][/QUOTE]
