    I felt the same way. I voted for primaries, but against unaffiliated. And that's as an Independent voter...

    Just my take on it.
    Pretty much. There would be a ton of people trying to get into that class action lawsuit.
    I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.

    Everybody should be treated like a human, even a convicted criminal.

    Take a breath, Ridge... We're talking about "perceived" (by the incarcerated individuals) "slave labor" (i.e. anything they didn't want to do, that may have been a part of the daily routine).

    Just making sure you were clear on the intent of my opinion. Face it, your comment was a little passive-aggressive. My feels were hurt, and I needed to create a safe space so I don't have frightmares when I go to bed tonight.

    It was a little passive aggressive, I'll admit that.

    I think its stayed the same. Republicans run the Senate and Dems the house.

    Then we need a complete overhaul of the "legal" system. However, retributive justice can be fine, but it should be coupled with rehabilitative justice as well -- that includes work.

    Yeah but what if you are different than they are, or you don't understand them? Then it's okay to treat them subhuman, right?


    Edit: Well, it seems this thread took off in another direction before U responded trying to be funny.
