The prison system. There is another num-nuts idea. Holding criminals in a pen at the cost of the tax-payer, then let them out and watch 70% of them come right back. Set those people to work. Make use of them. Send them to underdeveloped parts of the world and have them build infrastructure. Donate their labor to the UN for the length of their sentence. The UN is a completely fucked organization, but it does do some good in the world. Way too inefficient for my liking, but I figure inmates helping out is better than them sitting in a pen with other criminals, just being a drain on the tax dollar.

That actually sounds like a good idea. I've never thought of that before. The only problem with that would be that if the inmate managed to escape from their detainment there would be almost no way of tracking them down again.. and now you've got murderers from America running around underdeveloped countries.

My taxes? They come right back to me.

Ever seen a chain gang? You can deliver care packages with your ankle strapped to another person and a guard right behind the line of inmates.

No. The demand was for the US to do something.

It works better when individuals are responsible for themselves instead of Big Brother.

Are you talking about globalization, meaning the spread of American products. Or American military conflicts? Which one?

Because the corporations have no power if there is not a demand for what they do.

Since when has dumping money on something ever fixed anything?? Give more money to the schools? They can't manage money. They'll buy laptops for teachers, they'll put a TV, DVD, and Mac in every room, they'll put thousand dollar projectors in the ceiling for god knows what

well then I have to borrow this argument of yours and use it " It works better when Other countries are responsible for themselves instead of Big Brother [U.S.A] . "

ok, how about that, how free i the free world when it is dominated by the U.S? economically and culturaly?

won't it be better than fucking other up?

I do not know if they have again been abolished, but, in some states, they were brought back,

Simon, I did not see rightwinger bash France, I truly did not

AND, keep in mind that other countries have a more primative and effective, often brutal and mislabled, "barbaric," justice system. I am sure a chain gang in those countries would not be that foreign, or if it is, not that unwelcome.
