- You can't change someone's mind if you harden their heart first. Then

-
- I don't think Steeves wants to control women, he just would like a
- little consideration about something that could have a major repercussion
- in his life.
-
- I can understand his attitude. If it happened to me, would I kill her?
- No. I may be tempted to - after all, here before me stands one who in
- a premeditated act murdered my child. What would you do to someone who
- murdered *your* child?
-
- Of course, you don't see it as a child, and you dismiss out-of-hand
- those who think otherwise. But I wouldn't kill her. I wouldn't even
- hit her. I'd surely turn my back on her. No woman is worth *any* jail
- time.
-
- But please continue treating men like beasts and animals.
-
- Just don't be surprised when they act the way you treat them.
