Sentence first -- verdict afterwards

So says the Alice's Queen. Mark Foley did something improper, perhaps even illegal., and he's taken responsibility. Unlike other politicians (but I digress). I think it's important to keep perspective. At least based on what we know now, he didn't rape, assault, or otherwise injure anyone. The underage pages - erroneously referred to by some as "young boys" -- were 15 and 16 years old. In many states, that's old enough to be tried as an adult for murder or to get an abortion without a parent's consent or even knowledge.
