Don't you think we're too easy on our criminals?
I'm not talking about the 'weekend criminals' that commit their crimes, serve their sentence, and don't (necessarily) commit more crimes when they finish their sentence. I'm talking about the hardcore re-offenders. The criminals that get out a parole and start right back up in their life of crime. The escapees, the gang bangers who feel as if they have a special loyalty to their gang, serial rapists (sex offenders), chronic criminals basically. The people that are in and out of jail.
These people really don't deserve to be anywhere but dead. They're a cancerous growth in a civilized society. The whole 'three strikes' deal shouldn't end with a life sentence, but with a death sentence. What's the point of a criminal that repeatedly commits crimes to waste our tax dollars in prison, and most likely commit crimes while within prison? Just shoot them a couple times in the head and dump them into an unmarked grave. Problem solved. They do not need to be alive. Rehabilitation only works on the people that show genuine remorse, and work in prison programs that do something good.
I've always believed that rapists should be killed (not turned into a eunuch, they always find other ways to rape). They rarely are rehabilitated, and if they're dead, that can't re-offend. Shoot them a couple times in the head and dump them in an unmarked grave. Problem solved.
Murderers that continue to murder in prison should be killed as well. They're doing somewhat of a service, whacking criminals already in prison. But they usually don't whack the right criminals, so shoot them in the head a couple times and dump them in an unmarked grave. Problem solved.
Criminals that keep going in and out of the system, death. They do nothing but muck the system up and waste valuable time and tax money. Shot them a couple times in the head and dump them in an unmarked grave. Problem solved.
Convicts with draconian sentences, you know, those sentences that consist of several life terms and three death sentences? And those criminals that have solitary for life sentences? Yeah, if they aren't working in prison creating something useful for society, but committing more crimes, death. Shoot them a couple times in the head and dump them in an unmarked grave. Problem solved.
People with death sentences. Get the fucking thing over with. If they're sentenced to death, don't let them sit on death row for ten or twenty years. Don't try and abolish the death penalty, what the fuck are you thinking? It's the best thing going for dealing with criminals. Kill them the same day as their sentencing, really, just shoot them in the head a couple times and dump them in an unmarked grave. Problem solved.
And you might think this is a little cruel... No. It is not, it's efficient. Also, if these people are innocent, I'm pretty sure an innocent man never stops fighting his sentencing, unless they're lazy and what not. I will gladly allow people to fight their sentences because they know that they're innocent. It helps get the police on the ball and capture the right guy. Which they need to get better at doing, seeing as one innocent man sent to jail is one too many.
Also, you know the Bernard Madoff type? Yeah, those kind of criminals, rich bastards who swindle, they deserve life in an eight by ten cell with a toilet, table, and bed. That's what a rich criminal who does what Madoff and other like him did deserve.
Anyways, you want an idea that'll stop crime levels real quick? Look to the Spanish Inquisition. Reinstate the brilliant torture devices they used, and crime levels will drop real quick. Because I believe that all criminals deserve punishment for being complete assholes. The US Constitution protects against cruel and unusual punishments (probably because of the Spanish Inquisition), but if you make these punishments usual, and use the ones that fit the crime, then they won't be cruel. And in turn, crime levels will drop, because the Spanish came up with some mean shit during their Inquisition. If that mean shit were to be used to punish criminals these days, criminals would see that crime really doesn't pay, because if you get caught, there's a nice torture device on the other end of the system. Crime will drop, because people do not want to be tortured.
But that might just make criminals better at committing their special crimes. So the death penalty is the best we have going. If they get caught, and get convicted decisively, they get killed. No more criminal committing his special crime. Problem solved. I think Stalin would have liked this. After all, he said, “Death solves all problems - no man, no problem.”
Death is not cruel, death is not unusual, death is something everyone has to face at one time or another.
You wanna know what a buzzkill is? Just after I posted this up, Gov. Bill Richardson signed a bill that repealed New Mexico's death penalty. Fucking hell...

American Socialist Programs
As much as the United States has fought against Socialism and the like (which it lost horribly), it needs to adopt certain principles of the Socialist ideals (more than it already has).
Though I'm not the first to suggest it, I think it would do a lot of good if the United States were to adopt it.
Socialist nations, and nations like Israel, have had for a long time mandatory service lengths at a certain point in their citizens age. What I'm proposing has been said before, but it hasn't been said enough. I'm proposing that the United States government enact a series of laws that would require, and fund, a two year mandatory service length after high school graduation. Whether it be civic duties, military, Peace Corps, or the like; the 18 year old citizen would need to serve their two year service length in whichever way they saw fit to. If they were to drop out of high school their civic service begins the day after so they aren't wasted youths. The benefits to the United State would be amazing. The amount of things that could get done with a large amount of government program-sponsored civic workers would be staggering. It is literally a perfect plan. The workers would get free food service, and free board if they were moved from their hometown, and when their service would expire they would be issued a check with a large sum of money ($10,000 to $20,000+ depending on inflations of the future), or gain a full-ride scholarship to any college in the nation.
Now, funding for this would be the main excuse not to enact it. But the way to get the needed funding for these things would be to reform the tax laws and make it harder for everyone to avoid taxation (especially the rich). Also, I would thing a national sales tax would easily replace the income tax. I would think it would only need to be 4.5 or 5.5% to encourage spending, and to stave oppositions. Though I think the opposition would be high in areas with already high county, or state sales taxes. I would also think corporations that provide civil services would like to invest in this program, though it may backfire if corporate agendas get in the way more than they already do. I, as an opposing candidate to church tax-exemption think that we should start a church property tax at around 25%, though the opposition to that would be monumental, but the income advantages would be just as monumental. In my opinion, church tax exemption is not a separation of church and state but an agreement between them. With those things I could see the funding problems for these projects to be easily overcome. Also, I find that bureaucratic jobs could easily be eliminated by this. The senior members of the bureau would be bureaucrats, but everyone under them would be mandatory-volunteers (oxymoron) without pay, a large sum of government money saved and put towards this beneficial program.
On another funding note, I would love if Marijuana legalized and taxed by the government, and imported. I see that as a funding leap, but I also think drug lords would have a fit even if they were the only suppliers of the drug. The only reason I think this hasn't happened is because drug lords have certain congressmen on their 'hit-list' if they were to ever do this. It really is a great funding opportunity, but an almost impossible one to enact.
If that was ever to be enacted, I think the income should go to the funding of school programs that teach civic duty and life education; a severely lacking area of education. Because out of high school students only a tenth of them approximately actually know how to live and learn out in the world on their own. It would be a step forward in education of our youth.
These programs would help the United States in their own way, but with the way things are going they will never be enacted unless a strong enough case and strong enough politicians are in the offices they need to be in.
By the way, the fear of Socialism, Communism, and Marxist ideals is outdated and stupid. The Cold War is over. Communism has failed in Cuba, North Korea, and most importantly, the Soviet Union. China is also just a state-run Capitalism. Get over you fear of it or get the fuck out of America. Plus, America is a transitional country. We're in between Socialism and Capitalism. Think of all the public programs, from Social Security (look at that, Social Security), to public schools, fire, police, parks, and all the things funded directly by tax money for everyone within the country (yes, even the 'illegals'). It's all Socialist. The only thing capitalist is the business world, because most hospitals are private, because you pay for their services. Yeah, I'm done.
