Does anyone else find it disturbing that the prison system is becoming more and more privatized? Our society being bought out by corporations, who see incarceration as a profit. Specifically the CCA. These same corporations who are now a multibillion dollar industry, with enough pocket change to lobby and buy out our politicians. I mean our military is too. . . just look into Blackwater contracting, but that's a whole other rant for a different time.
We Imprison more citizens than any other country, and that is pretty staggering considering our population percentage to other countries. . . Hell, China has less prisoners, that should say something right there, check the stats. All while us the people, pay for unnecessary imprisonment right out of our own pockets. Remember, these people get full health care, and even education in most instances, guess who pays for that? Prohibition and drug laws, seat belt laws, or anything a so called "public servant" aka police officer can pin on you to feed the judicial machine.
We all sit back as they take away more and more freedoms, as they make more and more laws.They will keep doing it too, if you allow it. Its like a school bully taking your lunch money until you finally had enough and socked the motherfucker. Dont let them take your humanity, do not de-evolve. Remain a human being, not a robot. Not an obedient, button pushing, paper filing, unknowing, unthinking, fucking. . . robot. . .
We are human beings, we have always strived for more. A better, utopian, euphoric life. . . and its not because we are greedy. . . it is because we are capable, we have spent thousands of years searching, knowing, we are better than this. If we could only leave behind the shackles of our past. If what I say becomes illegal, I will shout it, and give you all the finger while they drag me off.
The American Dream has ended people. . .its time to face that, but sometimes you just have to destroy and rebuild to make a better place. It is up to everyone to make that decision. We have built our own invisible prison around us, Whether its your job, your home, or your financial obligations. We are all both the guards and the prisoners, and we don't even realize it. Do you accept this fate, or do you start tunneling out. . . Andy 'fuckin' Dufresne style? How long untill everybody realizes our own well being means more than just money?
-Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.
Whoops. . .sorry everyone. . .actually started caring there for a moment. . let me go back to my beer and television.
