	Well, the reality is that *if* someone is caught, the most
they'll serve is 18-30 months.  You'll recall the case of the 
gay man murdered in Texas where the sentence was *reduced* by the
judge because he "[have] a teenage son and I'd hate to see him have
to serve jail time just for killing a faggot".  Of course, nothing
was done about this - and the two guys served shortened sentences.
