It's just my opinion, of course, but someone who has committed a felon has already shown him/herself to have complete disregard for the society in which he/she lives, whether that be "white collar" crime or otherwise. The person may be punished for their bad behavior, but that doesn't make the person regenerate into a less selfish, self-centered, self-gratifying individual.

Also, with the plea bargains, reduced sentences, or letting some out early because of "good behavior" (simply because, in some cases, there's not enough room in to keep them in jail)....are many of these "reformed" ex-cons really reformed? I think not.

This is not true. Are you sure that you did not commit any felony? The laws are many and you must have broken some knowingly or unknowlingly.

It is so amusing to see self-righteous hypocrites unmasked. It happens with great regulatity.

Gee's if one screws up pay your dues for crying out loud! I pay mine to the tune of 55% total tax burden and a good portion of it going to rehab to people that have shown very little concern for their fellow man.

What is MY, or anybody elses, crime to sentence me to this burden in life? I have no problem supporting the desitute, but my forced charity to those that are not charitable doesn't sit well with me.
