Ref. Post #34: One of the main reasons Americans love the prison system and the death penalty is because of its brand of Christianity. Since they believe in a magic zombie who will make everything right in the end they see nothing wrong with getting their licks in against the sinners right now. The magic zombie will forgive them if they're wrong.
That line of thinking has allowed profiteers to take over the criminal justice system and to actually write laws making all kinds of behaviors criminal offenses that require lengthly prison time. That furnishes them with a guaranteed inventory of inmates that they can make money off of for decades. The current criminal system is actually a legal organized crime syndicate. It's also a variation of slavery, which the bigwigs love.
