Prison might be the worst thing possible for meth fiends, but if they consistently act out and victimize others, how many felonies does it take for their suffering not being on meth in prison is less bad than the material and human loss they impose on society?

Drowning in (probably high purity) bleach sounds like a bad way to go.

Did someone help these dudes write a grant proposal? Maybe a few non felons should be involved in overseeing day to day operations, just a thought. Just an insane allergy to traditional structures and authority.

Nothing could go wrong with awarding large contracts to groups of people with not-fully resolved mental health and/ or substance abuse issues.

tommy what if i told you i'm at the point of calling into question the entire Liberal - capital "L" - project, and regard both ends of what constitutes the modern political spectrum as more or less functionally equivalent?

the differences are in degree, not kind
