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.

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.

If your opinion is to have the likes of "persons" such as Mason, the Martinez brothers, Jim Baker, etc., voting once they're released from jail, that's your preference. I PREFER NOT.
