Lock them up

Posted in General on April 18th, 2005 by DhammaSeeker

I'd be happy if all the drug users and drug pushers who are presently serving exorbitant sentences under federal sentencing rules were released and all of the freed up beds were given to sex offenders who would be locked up for the remainder of their natural lives.

You can get off of drugs, but there's something in the mind of a sex offender that prevents them from being “rehabilitated” in prison. I've heard too many cases recently of “released sex offenders” committing crimes even more horrendous than the crimes that got them convicted in the first place. This is a travesty against society. We should change it.

serious philosophical questions

Posted in Stones on the Path on April 8th, 2005 by DhammaSeeker

“There is only one really serious philosophical question, and that is suicide. Deciding whether or not life is worth living is to answer the fundamental question in philosophy. All other questions follow from that.”
~ Albert Camus
