    At least your last view will be pleasant.

    To beautify the city first you need to do something about the peasants, because they are revolting.

    You should read George Carlins thoughts on penal colonies.

    Given that over half of Federal prisoners are in for unconstitutional laws (pot possession – with no Pot Prohibition Amendment ever passed), property seized without even accusing of a crime, raids and arrests made without a warrant, I see government criminals as far more of a threat than muggers. The government ones have far more resources.

    “more than 85% of people in prison for all drug-law violations ".And remember, that is only of the ones in there for drugs alone — killing someone while pushing drugs for example —isn’t counted in this percentage.

    Do you call yourself a Christian? One of the fundamental principles of Christianity is that no human is all good, or all bad. I might disagree in the case of my former classmate Charles Meach, who murdered four people to try to cover up a burglary. But most murderers are not psychopaths like Charlie, and since his family could afford a good lawyer – and Charlie was a master actor and manipulator – I doubt he was ever in much danger of being executed.

    Above all people, jailers learn that there is a little good in most of the inmates. They need to be careful not to get carried away with that and forget to enforce the rules that keep the prisoners inside and the guards safe. (You won’t know about a guy like Charlie as long as you have power over him.) But that doesn’t mean they can’t show a little consideration to the guy in the prison system’s most secure cell by giving him a good final meal.

    …. As long as the requests are within reason. I’m remembering the song “Dinosaur Eggs Over Easy”. The warden promised the prisoner that he could get anything he wanted for his last meal, “and if we don’t have it, we’ll go and get it.” McDonald’s would be easy. A $100 blue plate special from the fanciest restaurant in town would be possible. But how do you go and get fresh dinosaur eggs?

    For quality results, always insist on a new rope….
