[QUOTE="HiLo, post: 61916845, member: 318835"] The downside to your excellent posts, is you often say all that needs to be said. Bravo! I obviously don't disagree one bit. You touched on the war on drugs and I certainly think that needs to end and we need to free all non-violent drug felons and restore their full rights immediately. Ending federal funding is also key but with less prison population, the need for those funds is drastically diminished anyway so it may be a positive domino effect from ending the war on drugs. Add to that immigration reform which you also covered quite well, are all factors that will change the dynamic of prisons for profit. If there is significantly less profit to be made, people are no longer interested in being in the business and that has a rippling effect though the entire judicial system and how judges who serve private business interests by incarcerating people, just to fill a vacancy, will have no reason to continue to pursue such unrighteous judgments. When you think about it. Maybe that is a part of the whole obstruction strategy. If we stay gridlocked on pure economic issues, we never have the chance to have these discussion which could lead to real solutions under this president. As i alluded to in another thread, Obama has the chance to go down as just the first black president or as one of the greatest presidents in our history. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
