It is my belief that the large majority of ‘criminals’ in jail should not be there at all. The police force used to be about detaining and punishing rapists, arsonists, murderers, etc. But now there’s this attitude of “how dare you” do a number of things that are actually constitution-given rights, such as controlling your own money, bearing arms, and, most importantly, resisting. Resisting for the greater good, for your own liberties, and doing the very things that the country is founded on.
Many prisons also sell the prisoner’s labor and then make a profit on this. How is this rehabilitative? It’s not, and denies the principle of the penal system–that man is capable of renewing himself by engaging in self-reflection. NOT doing menial labor to turn a profit. It’s sickening. Yet the number grows and grows. It’s also revolting to watch the lobbyists in Washington push for more and more regulation. What kind of life-ruining results will come from this, from banning and ruthlessly punishing victimless crimes, from destroying families of music-downloaders. The human race is not allowed to be pushed forward, but rather stagnated in a campaign against the American, European, Asian, etc., people.
What makes a person believe that, for example, Hilary Clinton, has anything in common with the average person. She’s immensely rich, has a godhead complex, is repeatedly on the ‘most powerful people’ lists, and can call up the president of China on a moment’s notice. She has been in the White House for 8 years, in politics for many more, and now is Secretary of State. Compare this to your average bureaucrat. There’s almost no common ground in their lives, and so their political and humanitarian beliefs also will never mesh. They live in different worlds, one aristocratic, one solidly lower class in comparison.
In Part 2 I will examine what conclusions we can arrive at.
