The deadbeat defendants can always be counted on to have a wallet full of crap when asked for an ID and paystub. The junkie bums never have a dollar to their name while the drug dealers usually have thousands of dollars in cash. Either way, you'll always see the following junk:
- Lottery tickets: despite being on welfare, the defendants usually have at least $10 worth of losing lotto scratch-offs.
- Welfare card: The "Independence" card makes sure our taxes buy groceries for junkie thugs.
- Wadded up paper full of phone numbers: For contacting their drug dealers.
- Used prepaid card: the junkies always need to be well connected with their thug-drug-homies and their collection of "bitches an' hoes".
- Expired/Revoked Driving License: It never shows the correct address, is usually expired, and is almost always suspended or revoked.
- Bus pass: for some reason, Baltimore City gives out discount mass transit passes to unemployed junkies on welfare.
But you'll never find a pay stub, library card, or college ID.

If I could design a prison, I'd make one that was a heck of a lot less sociable than the ones we have today. First, I would have the jails be built into the ground so that only the intake and processing stages were at ground level. Second, I'd have every prisoner be in solitary confinement for the duration of his or her term.
To economize on space, I'd have three sized of cells: 9x9x9, 8x8x8, znd 7x7x7. Prisoners with good behavior records would get promoted to the larger cells while those with bad behavior would get demoted to a smaller cell. All prisoners at Intake would be initially assigned a medium-sized cell.
because all of the cells would be solitary confinement, there would be less chance of homosexual rape, drug dealing, or gang recruitment. Indeed, prisoners would have the opportunity to interact with each other just one hour per day for exercise. Since the prison would be built underground, the normal day/night cycles could be ignored, so the excercise hour could occur any time. There would be no clocks or calenders permitted in inmate cells.
the lighting systems in inmate cells would remain on at alll times. There would be no television or other entertainment, however. During the other 23 hours of the day, the prisoner could contemplate the reasons why he/she is incarcerated.
Meals would be delivered to the prisoners via a slot at the bottom of the door. The food would consist of choices that would not require eating utensils such as knives and forks. The food would have to satisfy nutritional requirements, but be chosen to have as low a sensory experience as possible.
Only standard-issue prison clothing would be permitted. These would consist of grey jumpsuits that would have no pockets, snaps, or any other additions that could hide weapons or be dismantled in order to use a weapon.
Finally, suicide should be an option for prisoners with long terms. they could simply be given a cyande capsule under a doctor's supervision. The body could then be cremated on premisis.
Finally, the parents of inmates (if living and locatable) would share a financial responsibility for raising their children to be criminals. They would be legally mandated to pay 10% of the cost of incarceratioon. If the parents are on welfare, then the monies would be dedducted from their welfare check. If the parents are aut
I believe the combination of small cells, limited social interaction, and sensory deprivation would make prison such an unpleasant experience that young criminals would strive hard to avoid re-arrest following their release.

What is it with these ultra-conservative Religious Reich Republicans who keep getting caught up in homosexual scandals? Good ol' Senator Craig got busted cruising in an airport men's room and says he's not gay. This is a guy who voted against every piece of gay rights legislation that ever came across his desk, and he voted for the dreaded DOMA and the anti-gay Constitutional ammendment. Nice guy. He really knows how to live a double life.
Then there was the TV preacher a few months back who was sleeping around with a gay, drug-addicted prostitute while all the while publicly condemning all gays to hellfire and eternal damnation. Right.
i get so sick of these closet cases that take their bitter llives out on ordinary same-sex couplkes that HAVE managed to find happiness. What the hell's the matter with these peoplke?

I had a useless, shambling junkie Muslim bum at Pretrial. He was about 41 but he looked 71 because of all the heroin he had jammed into his veins over the years. Of course he was an unemployed sponge who staggered to the intersections each day to beg.
Today, apparently, he must have shot up some of that newfangled cheap Californian heroin that’s cut with cough syrup. Apparently it’s about a buck a dose -- a high even a violent, homeless thug can afford. But it makes the user sick afterwards.
Well, this pathetic waste of flesh was sick all right. He started vomiting all over the place.
Most of the time that I see someone in distress, I think “I hope you feel better.” But with this useless leech, I thought, “I wish you would just DIE!”

I awoke in darkness this morning and it really depressed me. In fact, the whole day was dark, gloomy, cool, and rainy. It felt like a shadow passed over my soul and made things darker than they had to be.
It seems that there will soon come a time when I will have to cut myself again. It is as if being alive makes me accrue a spiritual debt that can only be paid for in blood. I do believe my spirit is real, but I know that I am a replacement for the original personality that died so long ago. I have no right to this life, and yet, by default, I have it.
Why must I, Indigo, be the primary personality? thistle has purity and Ashen has determination and self-discipline (and is heterosexual as well). I, as Indigo, am a sinner and compulsive and strange.
At the other end of the scectrum, I feel Halo gainimg strength again. When he becomes powerful enough to assert control, I know we will hurt this body. Blood pays for sins.
maybe if I cut myself, Doug's sister wonzt die of cancer.

.My hybrid hit 120,000 miles over the weekend while I was visiting my mom. On the 3 hour drive up, I managed to eeke out 49.5 MPG. That's not bad considering the car is also 5 years old.
I just have to laugh every time I see a huge GM SUV witg new 30-day tags. Not only are they going to burn three times as much gas as me, they'll be lucky if they get 80,000 miles.
It's awesome having a Civic Hybrid.

I had an awful dream last night. In this dream, I could see into other people’s bodies and could see who had terminal illnesses. When someone had terminal heart disease or cancer, I’d see it as black blotches over the afflicted organs.
One woman had bone cancer and ovarian cancer and did not know it. But even then it was too late for treatment.
As I walked down a busy street downtown, I passed by so many sick and dying people. Some knew they were ill, but many more did not.
I did not know why I had been given this sight, since it didn’t give me the ability to do anything about it.

I have (or had) a friend who has refused to talk to me for a month because I didn't like his book. I really did give him a full month to "get over it", but yesterday he wrote to me and said that I failed the test of friendship (by failing to finish reading the dreaded thing) and that he now had "new friends and new priorities". I, apparently, am out of the picture because he won't forgive me for disliking his 500-page epic.
The trouble is this: the book is so bad as to be unreadable. The main character is a 16-year-old Jewish Gypsy orphan, who just so happens to be an international criminal/thief, a security manager at a mega-corporation, and your ordinary high school student -- all at the same time. The high school is so gang-infested that even the teachers and administrators are in gangs. One of the students is an elf, while another is a wererat. Yeah, right.
How is "Greyhawke" for a solid Jewish name? Yeah, right.
And the book just goes on and on and on. I tried for two years to finish wreading it, but it just can't be read. The book is just ghastly. The characters are paper-thin while the plot is labyrinthine. The diologue is stilted and the premise just cannot be believed.
it's okay to have hobbies. I've written a few books too, but I don't have any notions as to being the next J. R. R. Tolkien. Dana, however, acts like "Saga of the Knights" is the next "Harry Potter". Well it isn't.
I am really hurt that he would walk out of a friendship for the sole reason that I didn't like his book. It's not even a published book! He just publishes online. If you want to read the worst piece of literature ever, just go to www.tsotk.org and click "Possessor of the Book".
I am really pissed off!

My desktop computer had been out-of-commission for three months. Basically, it would run for 10-20 minutes and then freeze. It made the computer unusable. The problem wasn't a virus either.
Yesterday, I took the computer apart, blew out all the accu,ilated dust, and re-seated all of the cards. After that, I did a Repair Install of WinXP Pro. That basically removed all updates and patches, but left the drivers intact.
voila! The computer is running again. It's been on for 32 hours straight with no problems.
and to think: all I had to do is clean it up!

My weight yesterday was 181 pounds! That's 40 pounds less than my "high" weight of 221. I really have worked for it. I ate less junk food, excercised a lot, and cut out a lot of soda. I didn't use diet pills or fad diets either. Yay!
So i now weigh what I did ten years ago.
My long-term goal is to get down to 175. I am almost there!
