1. That is just sickening. As Bob Dylan said: “I feel, the whole world is a big prison yard. Some of us of are prisoners and the rest of us are guards.” Literally true in this instance. The next time someone says America stands for “liberty and justice for all” I will tell them they are blind to the reality: the cruel and unusual nature of the American prison system, incl. the for-profit prisons.

  2. Insane Ban on Cash Transactions in Louisiana →

    n-morgan:

    This summer, the State Legislature and Governor of Louisiana passed a law that bans individuals and businesses from transacting in cash if they are considered a “secondhand dealer”.

    My question from a legal standpoint is what is a “secondhand dealer?” The state has gone a long way from the haydays of Huey Long who although he was very corrupt (I don’t like that part of him), he did go after the big business in the state and made them pay their fair share.
