Give the bulk of them hard labor. They could do work that benefits society, such as rebuilding our cities. Give an education only to those interested, but make them earn it by working 8-10 hours a day. Those who can’t be rehabilitated, you keep out of society forever and give hard tedious labor for the rest of their lives. Why should the taxpayers eat it? Let the prisoners work to offset the cost.

It’s almost all bad. Murder. Rape. Natural disasters. Crooked politicians. War. Economy failing. It’s a bring down and generally causes anxiety and puts people in a state of fear and worry. And it’s basically the same shitty news it was 40 years ago. Only the characters have changed. Where’s the value or benefit in watching that? People tell you you’re supposed to watch it so you know what’s going on in the world. In some ways this is true. But for the most part, there is nothing you can do about it.

He thinks the only way he could’ve gotten it was when he let a male prostitute fuck him and it tore his hemorrhoid.

And that’s a big if. Say 50,000 a year for 20 years which comes to a million. You can adjust it up or down accordingly. And realistically they should only get what they would have banked after bills, plus interest and invested earnings, plus child support. You’re looking at a few million at best. Not 20-100 million.

You wake up to noise. TV or radio on until you get to the car. Then it’s music or talk radio. At work there is often music playing or people to deal with. Back in the car at the end of the day. At home it’s either music, TV or the computer until its bed time. Little to no time being quiet. Just being with yourself hanging with your thoughts rather than avoiding them with some form of distraction. Makes it difficult to get to know anything quiet inside ourselves. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2964118410530556958-7863979560019047957?l=mentlk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mentlk.blogspot.com/feeds/7863979560019047957/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mentlk.blogspot.com/2011/09/book-quote-insights.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964118410530556958/posts/default/7863979560019047957'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964118410530556958/posts/default/7863979560019047957'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mentlk.blogspot.com/2011/09/book-quote-insights.html' title='Book Quote: Insights'/><author><name>MenTalk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14730564423431929955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s-B_AFFWwwk/TmvIQgxCwOI/AAAAAAAAAAc/msoRW2l1Wt8/s220/IMG_1523.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964118410530556958.post-7114181968892712066</id><published>2011-09-15T10:14:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-20T07:42:20.497-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Book Quote: Relationships</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;He was nice looking with a very nice and loving personality but I just wasn’t attracted to him.

They were pro life and very religious, so I wondered if they’d be conflicted about it. They said that their “primary concern” when choosing a candidate was that the candidate was against abortion. All other issues were secondary. I thought to myself, that’s why this country is so fucked up, because of people like you who will vote for any asshole, based solely on their stance on abortion and disregard other issues such as rising unemployment, people losing their homes and retirement funds, no effective health care system, gas prices sky rocketing and our guys dying in Iraq.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2964118410530556958-1119836069717457468?l=mentlk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mentlk.blogspot.com/feeds/1119836069717457468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mentlk.blogspot.com/2011/09/book-quote.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964118410530556958/posts/default/1119836069717457468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2964118410530556958/posts/default/1119836069717457468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mentlk.blogspot.com/2011/09/book-quote.html' title='Book Quote: Political'/><author><name>MenTalk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14730564423431929955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s-B_AFFWwwk/TmvIQgxCwOI/AAAAAAAAAAc/msoRW2l1Wt8/s220/IMG_1523.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2964118410530556958.post-6705525697532226808</id><published>2011-09-09T08:27:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-20T07:41:46.483-07:00</updated><title type='text'>New quotes weekly.</title><content type='html'>I'll have new quotes on the blog every week.
