The system probably won't change as long as it puts more harmful people away than wrongfully accused people, unfortunately.

It is an inspiring story that has a well deserved happy ending. It makes me glad to know that Raymond is able to enjoy food and the sounds of nature at night a free man.

I agree that legally they did the right thing. Becoming involved would have cost them a whole heap of logistical trouble that they might not have recovered from so easily.

However... I am not one who has much faith at all, and what little I have certainly is not placed within the notion that the law, by virtue of being law, is "right". The workers may have been protecting themselves, but they failed to protect another human being and thus failed as human beings themselves.

I have a slightly different view from today's seemingly meek individuals. If I see any sort of undefined commotion that I cannot identify as playful, violent, or friendly, I immediately make my presence known and step into the confrontation. Of course, I also think that my life is best served to others than to myself.

I am sure I do not have all of the facts, and I might view these workers differently in a detailed discussion of the matter, but I will most likely find some annoyance in the lack of bravery and bravado.

I agree with virtually everything except the Alien trilogy. I actually think the third one was the best of the trilogy for its depiction of an unforgiving and hostile nature in the game of predator versus prey. I feel that the alien story best ends on a sad and depressing note rather than on a happy "the day is won and now we sleep" note.
