So before I return to the story

So every now and then I get reminded of this story
Judge gets sentenced to 28 years for selling kids to a prison.

And it makes me want to walk down the street screaming. "I hate you all, you are all fucking killing me!!!" As I punch out random passerby till I am eventually hauled to ground and forcibly sedated.
That is by no means an exaggeration.

We have a system of private incarceration in this country that encouraged a judge to sentence children to periods of time in jail that had no relation to the crime they committed at all. So that way the prison could up it's profit margin and get a higher quarterly earnings report. Meanwhile these children had their lives up ended and their potential ruined.

Yeah for a few thousand dollars each of these kids got sent up to line the pockets of corporate overlords and a judge who could have given a shit about them as people.

Well folks, welcome to the future. We are selling off the things that really matter and creating a state where in the law is important only in as much as it can be amended to serve those who have the money to get around. And to fist fuck those who are too poor to hire good representation or lobbyists.

It needs to change. We all know it, we all see it and no one can figure out how it can happen.

First off lets stop ignoring corruption as the way things are and always have been. If we want a better society then we need to insist that those who hold positions of responsibilities do actually live to a higher standard. I could give a damn if they smoke weed or have sex with someone they are not married to, what I do want to know is do they actually follow through on what they say they will do? If the answer is yes then please do so and I will give you my vote and support.

Second lets fire the democrats and republicans, lets make the libertarian party and the green party the recipients of our votes. Sure they might get bought and likely will but in the interim before they do we might actually see something positive happen.

Third. Look deeper past the corporate media. If you want real information it requires effort. But that effort pays off when you find the market for actual news. If you want real news on the world and America here are some sources.


Raw news, raw feeds Indymedia
