<p>Please Mr. Governor, set us free! Does anybody out there, besides me, realize that we have done over 500 executions of criminals in our prisons? What is it that made us go from hippie happy days to vigilante terrorists? All of us lined up to see the shed of blood of our "so well deserving" junkie neighbors. "Slam them In Jail, and show no remorse Mr. Governor," Someone cries! It has now become "the norm" to stand in the dark corners of some unsuspecting "Weird" neighbors yard with our night vision binoculars and "little Tommy’s spy kit" and then aim our miss at their windows Eavesdropping on whomever does not seem to meet our own requirements of "fitting in". Then write it off as not a "peeping tom" (that would be illegal), but rather as community service. You know if you just stood back for a moment and realized that the whole "drug free campaign" Is that and only that. Some political slop thrown on the table for society to gobble down so that when we cannot breathe anymore we will be unable to acknowledge what exactly suffocated our rights, until they are out of existence.</p>

There are 1.2 million people in jail today, not even including short-term sentences, the largest prison population in the western world. What is new is that we are the ones now carrying the torch to burn ourselves at the stake and thinking were above making any mistakes ourselves. Are we all above the chance that somehow a little girl learning to ride her bike this week will only pick a criminal’s car to mark her death? Or what of about the freak mishap of self-defense, has that been abolished completely? Can we not see that the politician’s new goal to have their golden signatures on the most death warrants is tragic and sad? What if our children in their youthful, foolish days of running free, are not looking up the time they will serve in our "new law books". They would be sorely mistaken if they think a pardon is in order here. <br />
By God’s the men with gabbles are not even to blame, with the maximum minimum policy we have all been so willing to march for. What you must realize is that this has been what they have always wanted! They started by segregating our buses so our children would stop walking to school together. In fact, the ankles to our "Oh, so well financed" Prisons chain the only way they will walk. Leaving nothing-neighborly running amidst our community, but hardened hearts from lonely loved ones, turned down by courts for rehabilitation, as if to say, "we cannot change our ways". WE CAN CHANGE. However, It is much harder when we stand-alone. <br />
There are aliens among us! We wonder which planet they will come from. Earth, as we are the alienated society that our facets ones have been working so hard to create. We are no longer "the people" but "the persons" they have molded us to be. Powering there stature, by losing our control as a whole community. If you think about it, the alien being represented by little green men is Ironic to monsters within ourselves, don’t you think?</p>
