   You words are kind and warming - but Max - you are talking about something   
   which happened in the past.   
      
   Germans loved Jews in 1920, but by 1945 they were gassing them all with   
   cyanide.   
      
   Times have changed in the USA. The felon is no longer tolerated. The   
   solution is to lock up every last one of them with the hope that they will   
   all die in prison. I accept this as fact, because it has shown itself to me   
   to be such. I will not lie to myself about it. I find very little compassion   
   or opportunity for redemption in the USA. The con who tries to better   
   himself and live a good life by being a good person will pay dearly for that   
   naive blunder. The system DOES NOT want you to succeed or to reform, this is   
   a myth.
