I think that the bit about how to commit crimes isn't that hard. But you are on to the truth about prisons: it teaches you how to be a career criminal, and provides you will the network to give you plenty of opportunity to pursue your new career.

As they say, networking is the key to success in business.

I'm not saying everyone in prison needs to be released. I think we need to be a Nation of laws and consquences. However, some laws are just stupid and create more problems than they have ever solved.

If it's a stupid law, like not paying income or property taxes or for some drug prohibition law. I would love it, if it all of them got a pardon. Matter of fact, if elected president. I would pardon everyone in prison on non-violent drug charges and every single tax protestor or person in prison on tax violations.

I fail to see why people should have to go Prison for not giving the Government money, either.

You folks seem to know a lot about prisons. What is your source of expertise?

Non-violent drug charges? So a drug dealer who sells crack or methamphetamine to a 12 year old kid should go free? After all he wasn't violent. Protesting a tax is not a crime. Refusing to pay a tax which is due is. If you reap the benefits of living in America, why should you not help pay the bill? If you disagree with where your tax dollars go, or how much you pay, address it through your congressional representative and senator, or your state reps for state taxes. If enough people agree with you, and your reps refuse to listen, you can replace them through elections.

I like the cut of yer jib bubba, you make sense without foaming at the mouth...

No, that musta been one of yer fantasy pals, Dammitboy![sic]!

Where you live...

My wife of 27 years just lost a two-year battle with a terminal illness in December, so I'll leave the "Log Cabin" lifestyle to you and yours. As to being a Republican, you're wrong again. I remain an independent and vote for individual candidates based on merit. I do concede that more Republicans seem to have merit than do the Democrat candidates, but I also vote for some libertarians and Constitution Party candidates.

I'm on wife number three and have three kids (with my second spouse). I'm also an independent with libertariian leanings (except for my war mongering nature).

Crowley wants to paint everyone with the bushbot/ghey paintbrush, if they disagree with him or make him look foolish - especially if he doesn't comprehend the conversation at hand.

Just ignore the tard, or poke him with a stick like I do...
