You enlighten us about our own culpability, overt and covert.

That when coupled with realizing that I had less time than I thought, meant another course correction. Mike handled it well and I had the space to regain altitude. <br /><br /><br />Like I said last time, I treat every opportunity as an audition for next time. Thus, my being a perfectionist.

It's the message that matters.<br /><br /><b>Modern-day debtors' prison</b><br />Nicely done. Also, once you get a criminal record, you are usually excluded from voting, food stamps, a federal job and many, many other forms of employment. Basically, it takes a tremendous toll on one's life generally designed to make you a repeat customer of the prison-industrial complex. It's sick beyond measure.<br /><br /><b>Social control</b><br />Yes! I would be interested in hearing/reading more about this. ;)<br /><br />Question: Does Mike Papantonio's Ring of Fire now have a permanent spot on RT or was he substituting?kokaneehttp://www.byebyedemocracy.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-11013839358773474872015-03-29T14:23:33.406-05:002015-03-29T14:23:33.406-05:00Recovered from the fumble and tried to go home as ...Recovered from the fumble and tried to go home as best I could.

An ...A most illustrative expose of the big picture. An explosive 6 minute primer on vicious circle of cops, victims. and prisons, that sensitive whites will walk away from stunned. You made the connection between slavery and the modern debt peonage system crystal clear. Also most private prisons contract with their host municipalities to require 70-100% occupancy which incentivizes the whole "stop, frisk, and jail" system and necessitates folks to plead "don't shoot." That's wrong on the face of it, a matter for critical legal studies. thinkprogress.org/.../2658701/private-prison-firms-quotas. www.motherjones.com/...2013/09/private-private-prison-occupancyjoe manningnoreply@blogger.com
