If more prison administrators thought and ran prisons this way, we'd need fewer prisons.

ATTENTION anyone in the UK who wants Cannabis Legalised. A lot of people want to help legalisation, including myself, but really there was nothing I could do, until I found this Official Government Petition. It is the only real thing you can do to help, and it gives CLEAR a huge statistic to support legalistion: epetitions.direct.gov.uk/pet**­ions/29 (replace the two asterisks with "it" without quotations).

WOW, another person who evaluates the world around him and forms opinions, based on observations, that makes sense. Its getting so rare to see these days. If we could get men like this in Washington, we could put off the New American Civil Revolution for at least another 50 years.
