The days keep blowing by, and I keep getting more Libertarian. We need to radically revamp our justice system. Drug laws need to be changed. We need to stop ruining the lives of people who commit nonviolent crimes. And yet, white collar crimes could use harsher punishments. Sex offenders should not be allowed on the streets. Kidnappers should not be allowed on the streets. I am not kidding. This current system is f*cked, people. Go on the Megan's Law website and take a look at all the sex offenders that live in your neighborhood. The day is coming when these people will be rounded up by citizen posses and taken off the streets. These offenders gave up their rights when they willfully committed their crimes. Come on, let's be clear here. Let's be responsible adults. The only way we can ever truly function as people and as a society is if we all take responsibility for our own lives and our own actions. Personal Responsibility. It's the operating platform we were always meant to function on. I'm ranting, but I'm upset because yesterday a woman walked into a local police station and explained that she was kidnapped 18 years ago, at the age of 11, and has been kept captive in a local house all that time...during which she had two children who were fathered by her abductor. It makes me ashamed to be a man, and ashamed to be an American, to hear this. The man who abducted her and held her captive as a sex slave for 18 years does not deserve an expensive trial. He deserves a brief hearing where the evidence is presented, and then he deserves something far, far less expensive than prison and/or Death Row. Someone should cap him before he reaches the police station. This tears me up, to see such injustice.
