   What we need is a separate city, an entire city, out in the middle of   
   Nebraska, Texas, New Mexico or somewhere way the hell out in the middle of   
   nowhere. We need a separate place where felons can live separarately from   
   fanatical non-felons. You dont want chomos living next door to the   
   kindergarten ? Fine. Let them move to an area where they can find employment   
   and live indepently without anyone being forced to make decisions about   
   whether or not to hire, whether or not to rent housing, etc etc. Sort of   
   like an indian reservation. They will all get otu of prison sooner or later,   
   and so perhaps post-prison banishment is the solution to this problem.   
      
   Of course, making such a sacrifice would neccesarily entail some type of   
   incentive, after all, just think what will happen to your cities when all   
   the crimms have moved away !!!
