I'm just starting up my own blog and only hope that I can write as well and give the reader so much insight. I’ve been reading a few posts and really and enjoy your writing.

Wouldn't we be better off just finding an uninhabited island somewhere and just dumping them all there? Seems like the classic out of sight, out of mind scenario so then we could focus on more important issues. It's clear they don't get rehabilitated, so maybe we should just cut the losses. I guess the downside would be the massive unemployment uptick we would see by all those defense lawyers being out of work.
