Jails "r" US,
|
America is one big prison. We have 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's prison population . We lock people up for life for picking their nose in public. ( Perhaps a slight exageration but on the whole an accurate assessment of the situation.). Part of the problem...

Do not listen to the lies of old men
Who fear your power,
Who preach that you were 'born in sin'.
A flower is moral by its own flowering.
