Our legacy is ours, we own it. We're brutal and we'll need to reform our system
dramatically. I was encouraged when I read that even Justice Kennedy views
our entire incarceration system to be a disaster...he makes it harder for the
Republicans to avoid the issue. We need more voices like his.

On edit: I do not mean to suggest I find that information anything but repugnant,
it should not have been arranged in the first place with Israeli authorities.
