Lilred, I just adore you....

vals' plan
 

lilred;
...again you have shown your high sense of moral value. I'm afraid that you or I will never be able to explain the difference between right, wrong.......and legal to some people. Thank you once more for trying.

best to you and yours...
ears-

I'm sorry to hear that Lilred, I had not heard that story before. I now feel that I understand where you get your tenaciouness from. He sounds to me like someone a person would be proud to call dad and mean it. I truly agree with your prior posts, people can say what they want about inmates not working and all the legalities therein, but the fact remains that if you have no other choice, what else are you going to do. Why should they have a choice? Why should we have to furnish them with a bed, a TV, food, exercise equipment and all the other niceties of life after they have victimized someone else. We didn't ask them to do what they did, we just allow it to continue to happen. Back in the middle ages if you committed a crime you was dealt with by losing body parts, and as awful as that sounds, people understood that you would pay dearly for your crimes. Yes, I understand that we have become more civilized so that our lives are better, but why should we have to foot the bill for there screwups? Ok I'll get off the soapbox now, this is something that really upsets me.
Anyway Lilred Amen to your prior posts.

Lilred,

I agree with you completely. Everybody should work for a living, that is just how it goes. However, not everybody wants to work as hard as the other guy, yet some want to be paid more than the other guy without working that hard.
