I appreciate the gentleman, especially for his very eloquent voice, and he is right, last week we were focused on our pocketbooks, unfortunately. And National Victims' Rights Week, while it was something we celebrated and recognized back in my home district in Missouri, in fact, while we were in session last week I was told that Fred Goldman, who of course has become a very vocal advocate for the rights of victims actually came to Missouri to champion and to remind us that the system, the criminal justice system, while it is not perfect, is the best system known in modern civilization. At the same time that we focus on the rights of the accused, certainly we do not want that system to victimize family a second time after having experienced a very tragic type of crime.
