 Do not our State governments immure criminals 

 for life? May not punishment continue as long 

 as sinning? Why, then, may it not be true that

 mure in the State Prison of the Universe, such as 

 cannot be permitted to go at large without jeop- 

 ardizing the order, harmony, peace, and happi- 

 ness of the Universe?" (Doom Eternal).
