He was convicted on the following charges: accepting an illegal gratuity, aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and ordering the destruction of documents through his secretary, Fawn Hall. He was given a three-year suspended prison term, two years probation, $150,000 in fines, and 1,200 hours of community service.Later, his conviction was vacated on appeal because the higher court found that the court that convicted him had not taken sufficient care to make sure his immunized Congressional testimony did not influence his prosecution.So he didn't go to prison because he only got a suspended sentence in the first place, and then because his conviction was vacated on appeal. He was probably treated leniently by the trial judge because it was his first conviction, and because he had been an officer in the Marines.It's not a crime to subvert the Constitution, unfortunately.

Because he was a philosopher, not an economist.With perfect 20/20 hindsight, Marx did not understand anything about economics nor sociology. He did not understand anything about the nature of humanity nor how economics work. Most of all, he did not understand the Tragedy of the commons.Private ownership goes in hand in hand with responsibility. When a resource is owned privately - be it private property, by shares in a joint-stock corporation, or by a cooperative - it is maintained, upkept and taken care of much better and much more effectively than when it is common property. Common property is something nobody owns. When there is no clear ownership, there is also no responsibility - and the result is overuse, neglect and outright sabotage and vandalism - to prevent others from benefiting the resource and to show spite. The result is collapse of the said resources.This tragedy of the commons was prevalent in all Socialist countries. The only method to upkeep the resources and prevent their collapse was coercion and state terror. In the USSR, everything was broken, run-down or vandalized. Nobody took any care nor any responsibility of anything. Because nobody could say “This is mine!”.Although common resource systems have been known to collapse due to overuse (such as in over-fishing), many examples have existed and still do exist where members of a community with access to a common resource co-operate or regulate to exploit those resources prudently without collapse. The most trivial method is, of course, privatization of the said resource. It creates responsibility and it also makes the owner to maintain the said resource and upkeep it instead of plundering - unless he is some kind of a kleptocrat or a warlord.But other methods exist as well. Elinor Ostrom was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economics for demonstrating exactly this concept in her book Governing the Commons, which included examples of how local communities were able to do this without top-down regulations or privatization. The second most trivial is cooperative - the joint community of the resource users, which comes together with obligation of maintaining the said resource. But cooperatives are a hallmark of Anarchism, which Marx strictly disapproved!Taking care of the resources without privatization requires exclusion and altruistic punishment. Exclusion means strict limits on who may use the resource and who may not, and punishing any use of the resource by outsiders strictly. Altruistic punishment means punishing those who steal from the till. While the punishers do not benefit from it and it may only cause damage to the punishers, it is a must. Because without punishing, moral hazard will ensue because of the free-rider problem.This is the reason why draft dodgers are punished extremely severely in Finland. National defence is the common resource in question, and all Finnish able-bodied males are required to take care of the upkeep of that said resource in form of conscription. Draft dodgers correspond to freeriders, and punishing them is a must. The punishment is a prison sentence. Draft dodging has been made also almost impossible by legislature - Finnish males between 18 and 30 cannot renew their passport unless they can demonstrate their service document.Finland does not want to privatize the national defence. So coercion, exclusion and altruistic punishment ensues. The needs of the nation outweigh the rights of the individuals.Marx did not understand anything of this. He saw only the flip sides of Capitalism and the squalour in which the proletariat lived, and he thought Capitalism is evil. He saw no possibility on ameliorating the things nor making the situation more palatable by means of intervention of the state - and he promoted violent, genocidal revolution to attain a paradise of workers. In the real life, the only thing which was attained was a living hell.

About a year and a half ago (April 2017), I was at work dealing with a difficult client.She had retained our services to investigate her husband and to find evidence that he was cheating on her.Fairly standard cheating spouse job, we got a few pieces of anecdotal evidence that he had time missing between when he was supposed to be at work and when he was home, late working stories, the whole beautiful cliches are cliche for a reason.Something notable was that he was ALWAYS missing on the Thursday afternoon, roughly 3–6pm.We set up a fairly routine tracking job and followed him back to a residence two suburbs away from his home area (10–12km / 6–7mi), he greets a woman at the door, perfect affectionate greeting shots, and then she leaves.It took several days and another instance of tracking him back to the same residence to piece it together after that. It turned out our target was not cheating on his wife, he was sneaking away to babysit his grandson, child of his otherwise estranged daughter.We came to the debrief with the client, and explained the situation to her.When she heard our findings she was utterly furious, not that her husband was babysitting his grandson, but that he wasn’t cheating on her.She demanded, then pleaded with me to modify my findings to make it look like he was cheating on her. We would later find out that she was his second wife and was seeking to divorce him while maximising her cut of the asset settlement.When I refused point blank to falsify evidence and documents for her, she attacked me, tooth and claw. She went almost immediately after my face with her long nails. The last thing I remember from that day was sharp pain in my face and a wet pop before I blacked out from the pain.The next day, I woke up in hospital to bandages and a doctor explaining to me that they were unable to save my eye. In the course of less than thirty seconds, a woman who could be described as ‘most of the way to Fussy Nonna’ had torn up my face and put her thumbnail through my left eyeball.It may not be a limb in the classical sense, but it is still missed just the same. It is common these days for me to get pirate comments from passing people, typically very young children and older teens.The teens get a stern glare.The young kids get to say they met a pirate on the tram/bus today.EDIT:As there were quite few questions in the comments, I will cover them here.I cannot name the woman in question as she is still going through the court system, however she was charged with several offences including assault causing grievous injury, attempted fraud and resisting arrest.I very happily stood witness in her divorce proceedings on behalf of her husband, though I do not know the outcome of that other than she received very little after damages from the civil suit were resolved.With this kind of injury as with many others, attitude makes all the difference.For me, the turning point was sitting on a train reading a fanfic (I am such a ravenous reader that hard copy books are little more than speed bumps to me), when a couple of young (3–5 year old) children poked their heads over the top of the seat in front of me.I looked up just in time for them to start emoting HARD about having found a pirate.Their mother tried to shush them, but it didn’t matter. I barely even thought before I dropped straight into character and played the pirate for the pair of them for the half hour or so their journey coincided with mine.I have since done so a dozen more times, and it leaves me with a grin that’s hard to wipe off for several hours afterwards every time.The 3 years later update…Well, a year and a half after my original post, and the third anniversary of my injury.I still to this day get notifications and comments on this post, so I thought I would do a little update for any further people who read it.Both criminal and civil courts have now since done their things.In criminal court, she was given a suspended sentence, plus 120 hours of community service. For those who do not know the terminology, a suspended sentence is where an amount of time in jail is assigned, but only if the person in question performs further criminal acts. She was assessed on how much of a danger she was to the community as part of this.In civil court, I sued her for loss of earnings, and medical bills. Punitive damages are not a thing here - civil matters are for justice, not punishment. When it came out that she was divorcing her husband without my testimony (instead, I stood as a character witness for her husband and against her during the proceedings), a lien was placed against the proceeds of her divorce, up to a maximum of 85% of it.I won’t disclose the amount that I received, save that it was enough for me to gain multiple years of university education to improve my skillset and make me theoretically employable outside of a sector where I had been working for 3/4+ of my adult life.I am indeed content with the sentence, though not for reasons most would assume. The reasoning is almost uncharacteristically cold blood for me.This woman was a ‘Keeping up with the Joneses’ type. By extracting such a massive toll on her financially, it would have been a crushing blow to her ego. With her only being given a suspended sentence plus community service, she would be denied post-prisoner employment assistance while still having the negative of a criminal background. A heavy blow to her ability to recover financially.I take comfort in knowing that her punishment is so much worse than jail. She will probably spend the rest of her life without the luxury she so greedily sought.On the health end of things, I made the choice to leave the socket open so I could have the option to use a glass eye. I can state now with conviction I hate glass eyes, they are horribly uncomfortable for me to use.Given that I am no longer as active as I once was, I found that both depression and weight gain set in fairly hard. I piled on more than 15kg in these few years. Talking to a psychiatrist helps, but can only help so far. The social contact I get in classes is also a boon, but 90% of the students are now half my age, and it is difficult to connect with them.Finally, I updated that ratty old eyepatch with a series of them made by a wonderful woman from Niagra Falls, much better looking in my opinion. :)
