So they want to build more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; People want judges to give out maximum sentences most of the time. Family's of the victims get a sympathetic ear from the press and the media. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Family's appear at paroles of the prisoners and want them sent up for another 10 years. I want them out working.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;By the way, are these the same people that will not vote for their own kids school Levy's !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; People want to spend money on housing and food for prisoners and do not care about their own kids educations. What's up with that?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just reduce the sentences in half. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; How can we rehabilitate anyone when hope of any life at all is at the end of their sentence? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; No company in the USA wants to hire a ex-con even for yardwork or as a stock worker. Read the paper in your community.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; See how many people are arrested daily? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You and I will have to support them if they just do petty crime in the USA. No family can live on min. wage. If they pay $300 to have their record cleared, there is still a black blotch on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Legalise pot and that would get rid of over 1/2 the prisoners right there. If not, up the posession amount to be arrested with. We want to catch the big fish don't we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As for me, I never have smoked or smoked pot and am 68yrs. old now. I have 3-10 drinks at the Olive Garden Restaurant&amp;nbsp;per year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; If I am dying and in extreme pain, I'd want a good Doctor, some Health Store products and some pot. I have seen first hand how even the dying cannot get enough pain drugs at times.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I was told it was not time for their shots yet. Both my Mom and Dad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;..............................................................................................................................................................&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You say I do not know how it feels to be the family of a victim? My 13 year old daughter was abducted in broad daylight. Three guys with a gun raped her while she was on her month... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Then&amp;nbsp; six years ago, my 39 year old daughter ( same one as above ) , was stabbed to death by her husband and died in my arms. I am raising her two kids. Do I hate the husband? No. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The devil took over that day and I refuse to give him the satisfaction of me hating the killer. I hate the deed , not the person. He was a great husband and a 5 star daddy before that horrable day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I was the first to forgive him. I asked him to turn around in court and face the family and apologize to them personally. The judge allowed it. I asked for counseling for the man. He got it. I send a few bucks per month for toothpaste, soap, deodorant and necessary items he needs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I hope to teach my grand kids not to hate and to forgive. Do not be guilty of teaching hate. What would your creator think of you hating for years? Hate makes the soul sick. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Learning Center for new on-line people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.marybirdsinformationplace.com/"&gt;http://www.marybirdsinformationplace.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some of my other blogs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://foxybird123-askanyteenager.blogspot.com/"&gt;Ask Any Teenager&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://howtomakemoneyinabusinesscommunity.blogspot.com/"&gt;HowToMakeMoneyInaBusinessCommunity&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://thebikersmademedoit.blogspot.com/"&gt;TheBikersMadeMeDoIt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ashorterdresser.blogspot.com/"&gt;A Shorter Dresser&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rollingoutthebarrels.blogspot.com/"&gt;Rolling Out The Barrels&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://foxybird123.blogspot.com/"&gt;True Happenings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://sinkingonmyinnertube.blogspot.com/"&gt;SinkingOnMyInnerTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://howtoconnectitall.blogspot.com/"&gt;How To Connect It All&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;My very favorite Business Community is &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.ismmagic.com/mary_bird.html"&gt;Ismmagic&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; They have 4 membership levels.
