Subject: RE: BS: US to Quit Killin' Its Kids......
We claim to be a Christian society but you would never know it by the screams for someones life!
The way I see it, if we would stop yelling, "NOT IN MY BACK YARD", and "THATS TOO EXPENSIVE" every time the proposal for a new prison is raised, we would put more of them away. As it is, they let the less violent ones out to make room for the really bad ones. The hell of it is, the ones they let out have learned how to beat the system while they WERE in! And, eventually, they go back as bad guys. Who's to blame? We have all heard the expression, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", but it doesn't really sink in. Whose to blame?
WE ARE!
