At least one other juror stated that s/he could not understand the poetry that hinckley wrote. Well there are one helluva lot of poems floating around out there that are not understandable; are those authors insane? Is Shakespeare insane? Is Allan Ginsberg insane? hinckley's parents and (I'm sure well-paid) lawyers claim that they will not seek his release until he is deemed harmless. I know what will make him harmless...a lobotomy...via Smith&Wesson... WHERE IS JACK RUBY WHEN HE'S NEEDED? Pardon my flame. The lower-case f is intended as a sign of disrespect. Dan O'Connell
