?Are Prisons Obsolete?? ?


"They don't rehabilitate. They exist to keep companies in business, building penitentiaries and keep troublesome minorities away. The responsible thing to do, she says, is get rid of them. "


No,Angela, given the similar conditions but in a different government institution, the REAL question is:

?Are Public schools Obsolete?

John Lennon Was awfully Naive wasn't he?
The lyrics read like they were written by Yoko
though the liner notes list it as being Lennon/Ono

His Earlier and later works were much better.
The "Plastic Ono Band" lp was great as was "Walls and bridges"
and "Mind Games" I really liked "Rock 'N Roll"
even though it was a contractual obligation album.
When John was out from under Yoko's thumb and free to make Pop records he was quite good.
"Two Virgins","Life With The Lions" and the "Wedding Album" are completely unlistenable
But they are a feather in the cap for a Beatles collector.
"Life With The Lions" features a recording of J&Y's first baby's heartbeat just before she miscarried. Tragic? Yes, self serving? most definitely
He should have stayed married to Cynthia.



Just For Giggles here are the lyrics for Angela

Angela
by John Lennon/Yoko Ono

Sister, there's a wind that never dies
Sister, we're breathing together
Sister, our love and hopes forever keep on moving oh so
slowly in the world
They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything but the jail house key
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything but equality

Angela, can you hear the earth is turning?
Angela, the world watches you
Angela, you soon will be returning to your sisters and
brothers in the world

Sister, you're still a people teacher
Sister, your word reaches far
Sister, there's a million different races but we all share
the same future in the world

They gave you sunshine
They gave you sea
They gave you everything but the jail house key
They gave you coffee
They gave you tea
They gave you everything but equality

Angela, they put you in prison
Angela, they shot down your man
Angela, you're one of the millions of political prisoners
in the world

"“When many young people decide to join the military service in order to avoid the inevitability of a stint in prison, it should cause us to wonder whether we should not try to introduce better alternatives.”

How about "get a job"?

Kind of pales next to "judge murderer." But they didn't say that either.

Ah, for the day in the late 70s when Red Angela came to speak at the University of Miami and almost got blown up by former Bay of Pigs veterans...

All those old commies. Nostalgic for the good ol' days before their pals the Dems were in the descendancy, they're looking for new causes all the time. But they've only got the old media to pay serious attention. They need to hurry up bfore it's too late. After we win the Terror War they will really become obsolete, running out of Dictators to falsify and love.
