While you haven't been as hysterical as others towards over-the-top polemic, there's history and then there's the present: http://www.revleft.com/vb/prisons-co...308/index.html

[That is, if you're willing to consider the issues of crime and punishment more seriously.]

Hey no problem. Didn't mean to come on overly harsh. I've been guilty of thread derailment myself.I enjoy your posts, I just wanted to focus on the current US economy.

I'll shut up then.

Nice cartoon av you have. Where's it from?

The anime figure by my posts was just something I got off youtube. I looked up "communist anime" and that's all I came up with. I'm thinking of changing it. The one in the message board is Utena Tenjou. She's called Revolution Girl, although this has no connection w/politics. She's portrayed as a tomboy and models herself after a prince. I think she's cool.

What's with the anime, by the way?
