5. Well said. We need genuine rehabilitation for people in prison, especially the kids.

Just locking them up and letting them rot is not the humane and responsible thing to do. It would be good for them and good for society. But of course, we're going the other way, with that sheriff in Arizona and more private prisons. We're creating monsters who get more terrible by the day. We can't do what we need to make a healthy society, but we can spend trillions a year to kill people all over the world. One of these days there's going to be a terrible reckoning for all of this. I think we're seeing it already. We're reaping what we've sown.
