Just a thoght; it has never occurred to me before that sentences of this length one day may likely be more than "symbolic" so to speak.

That is a very good point. I thought that when I heard the Bradley Manning sentencing of 130+ years. With the types of technologies that will likely exist in the 21st century, Manning could easily outlive that sentence.
