LV - I think you make an excellent point, here; America's love of vengeance is what largely drives the popular support enjoyed by both the Prison-Industrial Complex and the execution of our prisoners (often in ways that have nothing to do with the Death Penalty).
Agreed, america is getting ficked by industrial complexes. Prison should not be about punishment, but taking criminals and making them into functioning members of society.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
