    Wasn’t that the “crime” from the Seinfeld finale?

    I would say unbelievable but few things truly are anymore. And Rutherford isn’t a sleepy little college county outside Nashville anymore. Well over 300,000 people now and still run on the Boss Hogg model.

    I read that a little while ago. There's no way she's not getting kickbacks for incarcerating these kids.

    I didn't make it down to 19 in that thread. The judge is DEFINITELY taking kickbacks.

    You're ignoring most of the history of the United States, and hiring practices that continue today, where it's meritocracy for white men, and other people get shut out of jobs. Their merits are often not even actually considered. That's why I think Justice does become more just the more people of color and the more women that are in those departments.

    Read this thread. Jailing 8-year-olds to turn a profit.

    No thoughts on the UMich professor being (metaphorically) strung up for showing a clip of Laurence Olivier as Othello?

    Apologies for the hole in the ceiling.

    Homo Sapien Sapiens are inherently tribal/racist. You see any Neanderthals walking around? Is your kid being coached by Og from the Parks and Rec pool? Why do you think that is? Bueller? Bueller?

    One other thing: We share DNA with nanners, taters, tree shrews, chimpanzees, tarsiers, gorillas... and I used to know the genetic percentages and dental arcades of all of them! (Okay, not the nanners and taters. Shut up. I'm on a roll.) There is a finite amount of matter here. It cycles in and out of all manner of things. Some of it forms people and before that, it formed, oh, I don't know... cat fetuses or dinosaur shit or ring-tailed lemurs. We're not that special. Since we're all sentient and verbal at this moment in time, we might as well enjoy it and treat each other as we would want to be treated.

    Scuse me while I go scream in a pillow.
