Freedom is a Problem..

This morning I was sitting on a bench next to a homeless man, I asked him how he ended up this way.



He said: "Up until this last week, I still had it all!
A cook cooked my meals, my room was cleaned, my clothes were washed, pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had TV, Internet, I went to the gym, the pool, the library, I could still go to school. . .. "


I asked him, "What happened? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce?"




"Oh no, nothing like that" he said. ... "I got out of prison!"

So true. I still say we should farm out our prison system to a country that knows how prisoners should be treated. It would only cost half as much and they wouldn't want to go back.
