Lock Everybody Up?

IN A RECENT POLL, conducted by aol or some other big company, forty nine per cent of americans believe that people who are caught texting while driving should receive jail time. forty nine per cent  is real close to fifty per cent, or half, half of america.

it would be great to think that maybe america doesn't really believe that, that, for some strange reason, the poll produced innacurate results. forty per cent of america thinks testing while driving should be punishable by prison time? what? c'mon, gimme a break.

are we really, do we really want to be, a country which locks up a huge percentage of its own populations, for trivial, or imaginary crimes? hell, we already put metal fibers in twenty dollar bills so that federal agents can track money with radar guns, and we, we the american government, the security state american government, acting on behalf of the american people, spy on the population with every sort of  electronic device imaginable, some you've heard of, like lasers and computers, some , you haven't.

locking people up for texting and driving would be insane, utterly insane,even by american standards, which are quite high. we need to start letting people OUT of jail, and putting fewer in, not the opposite. legalize recreational drugs, and stop punishing white collar crime by incarceration.

there is no need to lock  up people like martha stewart, for heaven sake. take all her money, make her go out in the wrold and start over, financially; but, in the name of sanity, don't lock her up like a wild animal. hell, even wild animals shouldn't be locked up...

america puts more people in prison than any other country, and maybe this poll reflects the reason, maybe the american people really are incarceration crazy. but, somehow, one would like to think not.

there are surely  more creative ways to get people to stop texting while driving. after all, wonderful people do it, ministers, nurses, care givers, and such, they don't belong in jail. few do.

it is to be hoped that mainstream society will eventually reject the barbaric practice of inprisonment.
