read my post? I wasn't talking about the beleaguered spouse beater, I was talking about the collateral damage to interfering with people's ability to work. If I'm an abused wife, does knowing that hubby will be fired from his job make me more, or less, willing to report the violence? I'm talking about the real world here, not Perfect World where sinners are 100% bad and their banishment makes the world once around them all happy again.
