On the subject of all things being one: Suppose we are at home sitting in a comfortable arm chair and reading the newspaper. On the roof is a jay bird singing. Perhaps his singing is not so good and we are a little annoyed. But if we will just open our heart to the jaybird, then he is sitting in the armchair reading the news paper, and we are on the roof singing. Shunryu Suzuki

That's a bullshit argument.

No matter how safe you are, you're sharing the roads with a population of morons.

If you're happy to wear minimal equipment and put your life in their hands, good for you.

But calling someone stupid for taking the risk more seriously isn't cool.

I do agree that prisons did help to make the usa prosper. Have to lock up the evil doers so others can earn an honest living and not have their stuff stolen.

And prosecutors should have to pay back a years salary every time they send an innocent man to prison.

i saw 3 guys stealing stuff from my neighbor. i called 911. they tried to escape in a stolen Kia Soul. Cops caught them after an exciting chase. 1 went to prison, 2 were under 18 and got off easy. Like it or not, prisons are necessary and i gladly pay taxes to put them away. :bigthumb:

if you want to be taken seriously, tell us your personal experience with criminals and how you solved the problem :bigthumb:
